Uzbekistan

Country Analysis Brief ›

Uzbekistan has abundant oil and natural gas reserves. However, several factors such as lack of sufficient foreign investment and inadequate transportation infrastructure have deterred the country from becoming a major energy exporter.
Oil production from Uzbekistan has declined since 2003 due to lack of new investment and technological capacity to bring new oilfields online as well as a greater interest in the larger gas potential of the region by energy companies.
Uzbekistan contains substantial natural gas reserves but is currently constrained by the lack of available foreign investment and natural gas export pipeline infrastructure. Uzbekistan also serves as a transit country for gas from Turkmenistan to Russia and China.
