Turkmenistan LPG exchange sales surge

LPG sold on Turkmenistan's State Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange in Ashgabat increased by more than half to 347,300t last year. The rise in sales was a result of the commissioning of the Akhal gas-to-liquids plant in Ovan-depe, as well as higher gas processing at other plants. The main buyer remained Afghanistan, which took218,000t, as a result of low transportation costs to the country and stable demand.
