Turkmenistan depends on the Russian system of pipelines for gas exports. It sells gas to Iran through a pipeline on stream since late 1997 (see following pages). The Russian system's Central Asia-Centre No. 4 trunkline, which can take up to 60 BCM/year of Turkmen gas, was built in the Soviet era.
The trunkline originates at gas fields in Uzbekistan and runs north through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan to Russia, once the centre of the USSR. Turkmen gas exports to Russia and Ukraine have to pass through the Uzbek border point of Khiva.
