Nation on the path of prosperity?

A preliminary report published on Thursday has revealed that the total methane gas reserves in western Nepal could reach approximately 430 billion cubic metres, enough to possibly meet the nation's demand for gas for around 50 years.

The report, prepared by the China Geological Survey (CGS), presented initial findings from just one of the four targeted wells in Jaljale area of Dailekh district, raising the possibility of the nation tapping into domestic sources of energy. The first drilling operation, launched on May 11, 2021, reached a depth of more than 4,000 metres, revealing an estimated 1.12 billion.

Signs of hope that will brighten the nation’s future are starting to appear from the waters of Dailekh.

The China Geological Survey Company has submitted a preliminary report on petroleum and natural gas exploration in Dailekh to the Nepal government. It has revealed that the Jaljale area is a huge storage site for methane gas.

The first drilling operation, which began in 2078 BS, was carried out to a depth of 4,013 meters. The testing of samples collected from there has confirmed the presence of 1.12 billion cubic meters of methane gas storage.

Let us hope that the present and future governments will sincerely work towards the full development and operation of this natural resource project making the nation one of the prosperous nation of this globe.
