Background The Barapukuria coal deposit was discovered in 1985 when the geological Survey of Bangladesh drilled a wild-cat borehole to investigate a negative gravity anomaly in the area. Since that time, a total of 35 deep boreholes have been drilled, delimiting the area of coal resources and determining the structure and the coal seam characteristics in terms of thickness and quality.

Collection of coal statistics Bangladesh oil, gas and mineral corporation (PETROBANGLA) operates the coal mining activity in Bangladesh through “Barapukuria Coal Mining Project”. The coal mine project is located at the district of Dinajpur, the North-West Part of Bangladesh. Commercial basis production of coal has been started from September, 2005.

Collection of coal statistics (cont. ) The coal mining project office sends monthly production data of coal to head office, PETROBANGLA, both in quantity and value. The project office also provides information on expenditure of its coal mining activity. PETROBANGLA, with its other production statistics, also publishes coal mining statistics in its monthly MIS report.

Collection of coal statistics (cont. ) BBS uses the coal mining statistics published in the MIS reports of PETROBANGLA. BBS also uses the expenditure data of coal production directly from the project office of coal mining for GDP compilation purpose.
