In quarter 1, 2015 Turkmenistan’s foreign partners extracted over 1.68 million tons of oil, writes local newspaper Nebit Gaz.
The article reads that during three months this year oil production on the Cheleken, Nebitdag, Hazar and Bloc-1 contract areas increased by 18% against the same period last year.
