It offers significant long-term potential, with access to over 7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas resources and future opportunities for production capacity expansion.
The collaboration supports Turkmenistan’s efforts to ensure energy supply stability and export diversification while delivering sustainable growth and economic value to all parties, amid rising regional and global demand for natural gas, acoording to PETRONAS's statement.
