Ashgabat, July 19 - Neftegaz.RU. CNPC Chuanqing Drilling Engineering Company Limited will provide services for the completion and commissioning of 3 wells at the Galkynysh gas field, the world's 2nd-largest gas field located in Turkmenistan’s Mary region.
During a Cabinet of Ministers meeting, Vice-Premier Shahym Abdrakhmanov reported to President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov a draft Resolution on completion of the construction of gas wells in the Galkynysh gas field.
According to the document, as part of the ongoing work on the stage-by-stage development of the field, Turkmengaz State Concern will sign a contract with the Chinese company to provide services for the completion of construction and commissioning of 3 complex wells.
The project is designed for 30 months, and payment for the company's services will be carried out at the expense of the annual supply of 17 billion m3 of natural gas to China over 3 years.
