Dauletabad gas field

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dauletabad gas field (until 1991 known as Sovietabad) is the largest natural gas field in Turkmenistan with estimated reserves of 1.4 trillion cubic meters (TCM) of gas. However, there are some doubts about the size of actual reserves.

The production started at the Dauletabad field in 1983. After the independence of Turkmenistan, production declined significantly, but increased again after 1998. Currently, the gas is exported via the Central Asia-Center gas pipeline system.

The Dauletabad field has been cited as a possible supply source for the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline, but according to the Asian Development Bank, the field's production forecasts are "lower than expected" and that "production is predicted to decline."[1]
