In 2011, BAPEX, the state-owned organization of Bangladesh, conducted a three-dimensional seismic survey, and found the stock of about one trillion cubic feet of gas at the gas field. The gas was started lifting experimentally by the No.8 well. According to an estimation of 2015, the reserves of this gas field amounted to 5.2 TCF. It was reported that the production of octane would be, produced in 2016. The production of the five wells of the Rashidpur gas field was 60 million cubic feet.
