The project between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan for the development of the “Dostluq” field has nothing to do with the Trans-Caspian gas pipeline, Russian Ambassador to Turkmenistan Alexander Blokhin stated on June 11 at a briefing in Ashgabat.
“The Trans-Caspian gas pipeline is a completely different topic, which has nothing to do with “Dostluq”. I read messages that we have agreed, and now it is possible to build a gas pipeline. First, “Dostluq” is not a gas, but an oil field, with rather serious oil reserves. Associated gas is there, as always, but not in such volumes that it would be possible to talk about it, the diplomat said.
On January 21, 2021, in Ashgabad, the Foreign Ministers of Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan signed a Memorandum of Understanding on joint exploration, development and development of this hydrocarbon field.
