Kailashtilla Gas Field (Bengali: কৈলাসটিলা গ্যাসক্ষেত্র) is a natural gas field at Sylhet, Bangladesh. It was discovered in 1962 by Pakistan Shell Oil Company.[1][2] It started producing gas in 1983. It is controlled by Sylhet Gas Fields Limited.[3] This gas field is situated nearly 35 km away from Beanibazar Gas Field.[4] In 2012, conducting a 3D seismic surveys, Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company (BAPEX) found nearly 137 million barrels oil reserves in Kailashtilla and Haripur; of which 109 million barrels of oil reserves were discovered in Kailashtilla and the remaining 28 million barrels in Haripur.[2] Oil was first discovered in Haripur field in the 1980s.
