ইতিহাস ও কার্যাবলি Sylhet Gas Fields Limited (SGFL), a company of Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation (PETROBANGLA) under the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources is the pioneer in the discovery and production of natural gas and mineral oil in the country. Though this Company was incorporated on 8th May, 1982, its history of production and sale of natural gas dates back to 1960 under the umbrella of its predecessor, erstwhile Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL), which discovered gas at Sylhet Well No. 1 at Haripur in Sylhet District in the year 1955. It was the first discovered hydrocarbon gas field in the Country. In 1960, commercial production of gas commenced for the first time in the country by supplying about 4 million cubic feet of gas per day to Chhatak Cement Factory which heralded a new era in respect of production and use of natural gas in this region. It was landmark in the use of natural gas as an industrial prime-mover. In 1961, transmission of gas from Sylhet Well No. 3 commenced to Fenchuganj Fertilizer Factory through a 30 mile long 8 inch dia pipe line at the rate of 20 million cubic feet per day. This was a turning point in our industrial development since natural gas was used as raw material in industry. In fact, it was the beginning of an era which paved the way for a promising future. On 23rd December 1986, the long cherished dream of the country came true with the first Oil find in Well No. 7 at Sylhet (Haripur) Field. The Discovery gave a new impetus and opened a new horizon hope for exploration of mineral oil in the country. At present, the Company has under its umbrella 5 gas fields namely Sylhet (Haripur), Kailashtilla, Rashidpur, Beanibazar and Chhatak with 13 producing gas wells. A condensate fractionation plant at Rashidpur has been installed and started production from 01 August, 2009. Fractionation plants having capacity 3750 barrel per day installed at Rashidpur to produce motor spirit, octane, diesel and kerosene.

Press coverage
Named in 1 article since December 2025; number 91 among bodies in the last 12 months.
1 article from October 2025 to September 2026, against 0 in the 12 months before.
Months with an article: December 2025 (1 article of 1,195).
The total counts every outlet in the corpus. The 12-month comparison, shares and spikes use The Daily Star (business pages before 2026) and Prothom Alo English from 2018, so they measure attention within that corpus, not the whole press. Company press releases are left out throughout. A spike is a month at least three standard deviations above the body's previous 24 months. Bodies are matched by name or acronym in the headline and summary.

Expense lines in the company's audited statements1
Concept total_expenses_sum_of_printed_lines: the statement prints no labelled total of expenses, so the value is the sum of the expense lines printed on its face for the year (cost of sales, operating, administrative and selling lines, finance cost, WPPF and other expense lines as printed). Income tax, income lines, subtotals, gains and other comprehensive income are excluded; a printed parent figure is counted instead of its breakdown. Two blind readers listed the same lines and reached the identical sum. It is not a printed total.
