 Bangladesh imports crude oil and
refined petroleum products. In 1994, the quantity of
crude oil import amounted to about 1.2 million metric
ton. There was little export of Naphtha and Furnace Oil.
At the same year, about 16,000 metric tons of
condensates (NGL) and local crude oil were produced in
the country. (Ref BBS
1998)
From the available projections it
is envisaged that the demand for petroleum products as a
whole may double between the periods 1990-2010.
Differences however exist regarding where much of the
demand would arise. According to one projection, the
demand for diesel both due to irrigation demand and for
transport is likely to grow most although the rate of
growth would be much less than in case of most other
fuels. According to another, the demand for gasoline
would increase fast and this may be if one look at the
present import policies regarding reconditioned
vehicles. Source: Initial National

[MMBO, million barrels of oil.
BCFG, billion cubic feet of gas. MMBNGL, million barrels
of natural gas liquids. MFS, minimum field size assessed
(MMBO or BCFG). Prob, probability (including both
geologic and accessibility probabilities) of at least
one field equal to or greater than the MFS. Result shown
are fully risked estimates. For gas fields, all liquids
are included under the NGL (natural gas liquids)
category. F95 represents a 95 percent chance of at
least the amount tabulated. Other facilities are defined
similarly. Fractiles are additive under the assumption
of perfect positive correction. Shading indicates not
