The total length of new single-line gas pipeline will be 354 km, in total 4 lines will be built.

For the transportation of produced gas, the construction of two gas pipelines in a double-thread design has been launched: from the Nazarkuduk joint venture to the head facilities of Shurtanneftegaz (67 km); from the deposits of the Chigil group to the Mubarek gas processing plant (110 km).

Today, 24 km of pipes are ready for laying, 7.7 km are welded into a string, 70,000 tons of pipe products (43.5 km) have been shipped, reads the message.

The company said that work will be completed in December of this year, which will allow additional transportation of up to 50 million cubic meters of natural gas per day for processing in order to provide the population and saturate the domestic market in the autumn-winter period.

The main activities of Epsilon Development Company are prospecting, exploration, production and transportation of hydrocarbons and flare gas and oil; construction of industrial facilities; construction of transport communications.

One of the missions of the company in Uzbekistan is to develop and progress new and sustainable energy projects, which will serve as a catalyst for socio-economic development at both regional and national levels.

For the implementation of projects in Uzbekistan, a consortium of investors has been established with the Thyssen Krupp (Germany), Epsilon Development Company, and Epsilon Asia Limited (Hong Kong).

In the framework of joint activities, Epsilon has already commenced large-scale exploration within the Kultak-Kamashi, Mubarak, Surkhan, Ashibulak, Koskudyk and West Fergana investment blocks.

Phased exploration work with seismic surveys, drilling, prospecting and exploration wells and development of identified hydrocarbon deposits are envisaged.

Following the exploration and reserves approval, a field development program will be prepared for each field, and the best option for their development will be selected. Then a decision on the feasibility of building a gas processing plant will be made.
