Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, July 27 / Trend H. Hasanov /
Turkmenistan has started commercial development of the Babarap new gas and condensate field in the northern part of the Lebap region of the country, the state concern Turkmengaz said today, local media reported.
The first two starting wells have been recently commissioned. More than 300,000 cubic meters of natural gas are delivered into the gas artery daily from a depth of more than 3000 and about 40 tons of hydrocarbons condensate line.
The Babarap field is the second gas producing area in Zaunguz Kara Kum. The necessary gas production infrastructure is currently being constructed at the field.
Commercial production of energy resources started this year. Previously, the new field of Kerven was commissioned. Up to 700,000 cubic meters of gas, as well as large volumes of condensate are being extracted daily.
There is a large percentage of gas condensate, the most valuable material for the production of light petroleum hydrocarbons, in the gas extracted from Zaunguz, especially in the new areas of Kerven and Babarap.
Commissioning Kerven and Babarap further increased the guarantees of an uninterrupted supply at the Nayip powerful gas processing plant with raw materials and increasing the supply of highly environmentally friendly commercial natural gas into the pipeline system.
It is planned to reconstruct and modernise the first automated gas processing unit of the plant with a significant increase of its capacity and quality in accordance with the modern achievements of science and technology.
