GAZPROM AND TURKMEN OFFICIALS AGREE ON PIPELINE RECONSTRUCTION
By empty (8/18/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Turkmen Deputy Prime Minister Yolly Gurbanmuradov, who oversees the country\'s oil-and-gas industry, signed an agreement with Gazprom CEO Aleksei Miller in Moscow on 18 August on the reconstruction and expansion of the gas-pipeline system connecting Central Asia with Russia. Development of the pipeline system is a necessary precondition for full implementation of the gas-delivery agreement signed in Moscow in April between Gazprom and Turkmenistan because the existing system does not have the throughput capacity envisioned in that agreement. An additional agreement was signed on 18 August on the delivery by the Russian firm Gazeksport of equipment and services as partial payment for Turkmen gas deliveries in 2004-06.Visit also
