The Central Asian country of Turkmenistan has the 4^th-largest natural gas reserves in the world, totalling 19.5 tcm (688 trillion cubic feet).
That is equivalent to a 9.8% share of the of the overall global resource.

Most of the natural gas reserves in Turkmenistan are located in large fields in the Amu Darya basin in the southeast, the Murgab Basin in the south and the South Caspian basin in the western part of the country.

Despite its vast oil & natural gas resource base, Turkmenistan is not a major player in energy markets because of the lack of infrastructure, limiting its exporting capabilities.
In the past several years, the country has been increasing investment to develop its reserves and export more natural gas to countries such as China.

Russia has doubled the imports of natural gas from Turkmenistan in 2021.
