Country Analysis Brief
  • Central Asia countries Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have abundant oil and natural gas reserves. A lack of sufficient foreign investment, geographical challenges, inadequate export pipeline infrastructure, and political instability have been deterrents of both countries becoming major energy exporters. Recent agreements with international companies and countries may help Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to find alternative export routes outside of Russia and leverage their hydrocarbon competitiveness in the region.
  • Oil production from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan has declined since 2004 due to lack of new investment and technical capacity to bring new oilfields online. Disputes among the littoral Caspian Sea countries on boundaries could challenge Turkmenistan’s ability to access a significant portion of its total oil reserves.
  • Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan contain large amounts of natural gas reserves but are constrained by the lack of available natural gas transport infrastructure. Turkmenistan exports most of its natural gas production, while Uzbekistan continues to use its production for domestic purposes. Both countries expect to increase export volumes and diversify routes through recent agreements.
