Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan play an important role in providing a significant share of associated gas supplied to the marketable gas market in Eurasia, APA-Economics reports, citing a report by the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF).
The report notes that the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli complex makes a significant contribution to associated gas production in Azerbaijan, while major oil production projects such as Tengiz and Kashagan contribute significantly to such production in Kazakhstan.
It is noted that Russia is the main source of associated gas supplied to the marketable gas market in Eurasia overall. This is due to the country’s large oil production volumes and extensive hydrocarbon resource base. Associated gas production is concentrated in major oil-producing regions, including Western Siberia, where extensive oil and gas infrastructure enables the collection, processing and utilization of associated gas.
The region’s high oil production and developed gas infrastructure create opportunities to capture associated gas and use it for various purposes. Such gas can be used for domestic energy supply, in industry and for other productive purposes. This makes it possible to increase the value derived from oil production while also supporting gas supplies in the region.
