The oil refining industry in Turkmenistan is being modernised. Under a set of projects to cost over $2 bn, the country's two refineries are to be upgraded. President Saparmurat Niyazov has been planning this year to call a tender for a new 100,000 b/d refinery to be built under another project.
The refining and industrial sectors of Turkmenistan, unlike those of other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), avoided a serious deterioration after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The two refineries dating from the Soviet era continued to function with some hiccups, while the small-scale chemical industries and the agricultural sector did not face the problems suffered in neighbouring Central Asian countries.
