CNPC Flows Gas from Tan-401D Well in Turkmenistan's Tangiguyi Field

CNPC last week said it has put into production Tan-401D gas well located in Block B of the Bagtyiarlyk Contract Area on the right bank of Amu Darya, Turkmenistan.

The well has started to produce natural gas at a daily rate of 300,000 cubic meters. Currently, the gas produced is being transmitted to the Central Asia – China Gas Pipeline, after being treated at the No. 2 Gas Processing Plant of the Amu Darya project, CNPC said.

This indicates the successful commissioning of Bota, Tangiguyi and Uzyngyi gas fields, the Chinese firm added.

Construction of the three gas fields commenced in September 2014, with a designed annual capacity of 1 billion cubic meters.

Tan-401D is the first well to be put into production at the Tangiguyi gas field.

Amu Darya project is CNPC’s largest gas cooperation project overseas.
