Turkmenistan Gas a Potential for Europe

NATURAL GAS

Turkmenistan still has plans to build a gas pipeline across the Caspian Sea to Europe.

  • "The Trans-Caspian project is not being taken off the agenda," Turkmen Deputy Prime Minister Shakhym Abdrakhmanov said.
  • "We are also developing the internal gas pipeline network. The 800-km East-West gas pipeline, for example, connects almost all of Turkmenistan's large fields and can supply all export markets and the country's domestic needs, including Europe," Abdrakhmanov said.
  • He said Turkmenistan's potential resources amount to 71.2 billion tonnes of oil equivalent, including 53 billion tonnes onshore and 18.2 billion tonnes offshore.
  • Construction is also continuing on the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline.
