ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, May 29. Production of
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Turkmenistan’s Lebap region more
than doubled over the first four months of this year, Trend reports via
Turkmennebit State Concern.
According to the report, LPG output in the region exceeded
30,000 tons, compared to about 9,500 tons in the same period last
year.
The report described the growth rates as record-high for the
sector.
At the same time, production of petroleum bitumen in the region
increased by 4% year-on-year.
The Lebap production unit of Turkmengaz State Concern is one of
the key gas processing divisions in eastern Turkmenistan, operating
within the Lebap Region along the Amu Darya basin. It was
established in 2005 and is responsible for processing natural gas
into liquefied gas, gas condensate, and marketable natural gas for
both domestic consumption and export markets.
The unit operates two liquefied gas production plants and four
storage and shipment terminals, making it an important part of
Turkmenistan’s downstream gas infrastructure. Its facilities
process raw natural gas sourced from regional fields and ensure
supply to internal markets, while also supporting export deliveries
via rail and road logistics, with the region itself serving as a
key hub in the country’s gas production and export system,
particularly toward external markets.
