Before discovery of the Bibiyana Gas Field, Titas was the biggest field in Bangladesh which started to produce gas from 1968. The initial gas in Titas field was 6.36 trillion cubic feet(TCF). 3.16 TCF gas has already been produced. Twenty-five percent of total requirement of gas in Bangladesh comes from this field. But now it is facing serious problems. The reservoir engineer and the reservoir geologist have detected the problem. The problem is that a huge amount of water is being produced during gas production from Well-14 which is known as seepage of water. At the beginning of this situation, the geologist assumed that the amount of water was not too much. But later it was found to be too much. The problem must be solved on a priority basis.
