Turkmenistan and China expand the second largest gas field in the world

Ashgabat, April 18 (WAM) – Turkmenistan and China launched production expansion work in the giant Galkynysh gas field.

Turkmenistan, which has the fourth largest gas reserves in the world, has exported most of its production to China since 2009, the year a gas pipeline between Central Asia and China was opened.

The Galkynysh field, located in the Karakum Desert, about 400 kilometers east of the capital, Ashgabat, has been producing gas since 2013, and is the second largest gas field in the world.

The state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation is undertaking the expansion work.
