I hope these efforts will bring positive yield,” he said while inaugurating a workshop titled ‘Gas Well Exploration and Drill Stem Test’ at the BERC conference room here. The chairman said investment in gas exploration over the last 30 to 40 years had not been satisfactory, adding that more extensive exploration was needed, including well drilling and seismic surveys, to locate gas reserves. BERC Member Mizanur Rahman presented the keynote paper at the workshop, highlighting seismic survey dimensions and technical aspects of gas well exploration.
