| dc.description.abstract | This is the internship report based on the three-month long internship program that I had
successfully completed in Infrasturcture Investment Facilitation Company (IIFC), which was
truly a good starting in the path of once career.
IIFC is deeply involved especially, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in port, power,
energy, economic zones, roads, etc. IIFC is also involved in capacity building,
institutional reforms, impact assessment, performance management system, monitoring &
evaluation of projects etc. with a proven track record.
During my internship period, I was assigned to work in the project of BAPEX, which
helped me to gain huge knowledge on organogram, job descriptions, of an organization.
This report includes the brief introduction of BAPEX, their existing and proposed job
descriptions, organogram and whole operation system and proposed features to develop
their different sectors.
Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX) was
established in 1989 as the national exploration company by abolishing the Exploration
Directorate of Petrobangla with a view to accelerating oil and gas exploration activities of
the country. BAPEX was transformed into an exploration and production company in
2000 with a view to making it self-reliant. Currently BAPEX is producing approximately
128 mmcfd of natural gas (with negligible amount of liquid) from its seven onshore gas
fields (Saldanadi, Fenchuganj, Shahbazpur, Semutang, Shahjadpur-Sundalpur, Srikail and
Begumganj) and is contributing significantly towards mitigating the increasing gas
demand of the country. Besides, exploration and drilling activities in its awarded areas,
BAPEX has also been offering drilling and work-over services to other sister concerns of
Petrobangla since the very beginning.
Activities of BAPEX can be categorized under 9 (nine) broad categories:
• Geological Survey,
• 2D & 3D Seismic API,
• Drilling and Work-Over Operations
• Well services (Well cementing, Mud Engineering, Well Logging, Well
Testing)
• Laboratory Services
• Data Management and Preservation
• Production (e.g. Process Engineering, Field Management, Maintenance etc.),
• Civil Engineering and,
• Joint Venture Co-operation.
For performing all the mentioned functions effectively and efficiently, currently there are
14 Divisions, 54 Departments and 111 Sections operating at BAPEX. According to the
latest statistics, BAPEX now has around 1015 employees, against approved position of
1866. Out of this total manpower, number of total officer level employees stands at 399
while total number of staffs is 616 including 293 outsourced staff. BAPEX also deploys a
significant number of employees on part time, project and contractual basis.
While on one hand BAPEX currently suffers from non availability of adequate number of
people on roll to undertake different activities of the organization, lack of necessary skills
and capabilities of the available manpower is also another important issue affecting
performance. | en_US |
