Dragon Oil gained $ 137.6 million over the period compared to 105 million in the first half of 2009. The company connects these figures with the rise in prices on the oil market.

At the same time, the average daily oil production in the first half of 2010 hit 46.42 barrels compared to 42.808 barrels per day a year ago. The oil was transported through the port of Baku. The relevant contract was signed in June 2010.

The basic product sharing agreement (PSA) with the Turkmen Government was signed in 1999. The total area of the contract territory is approximately 950 square kilometers, including fields Jeytun and Jigalibeg and Chelekenyangummez.
