Turkmenistan to Host Health, Oil and Gas Events
Turkmenistan to Host Health, Oil and Gas Events
The Turkmen capital Ashgabat is to host two major forums in mid-November – an international fair and seminar entitled Healthcare Achievements in Turkmenistan on November 8-10, and the 13th Oil and Gas Exhibition scheduled for November 19-21, together with a conference on the energy industry.
NBCentralAsia observers say that while Turkmenistan has little to be proud of when it comes to healthcare, the gas industry is a different matter.
According to an independent audit recently produced by the British firm Gaffney, Cline & Associates, one gas field called South Yolotan-Osman could contain anything between four and 14 trillion cubic metres. The top-end estimate would place it among the top five gas fields in the world.
The last Turkmen oil and gas exhibition had close to 500 international participants, and the authorities are expecting more this year.
