The paired BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS (COWPER'S GLANDS) are tiny pea-sized glands located inferior to the prostate gland, on each side of the urethra. They produce a thick, clear mucus which is released prior to ejaculation when a male first becomes sexually aroused. The secretion is alkaline, so it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra. It also serves as a lubricant during sexual intercourse.

The one that produce alkaline fluid was bulbourethral glands, but it did not surround the urethra.
I think your question is wrong. It mixed up.
