Lukoil has begun production tests of two gas treatment plants at the Kandym early gas project in Uzbekistan’s Bukhara region.
The work is being implemented together with National Holding Company Uzbekneftegaz.
The Gas Treatment Plants have a combined annual capacity of 2.2bcm and will process natural gas from 34 wells to supply the Mubarek Gas Processing Plant.
The new facilities will allow Lukoil to increase its gas production in the country.
More than 170km of power lines, an electric substation, over 180km of high-and-medium-pressure pipelines, 237km of fibre-optic lines, 150km of roads and 7 bridges have been built under the Kandym Early Gas Project.
