The Current Situation and Future of the Oil and Gas Sector in Uzbekistan Rovshan Ibrahimov: The current situation and future of the oil and gas sector in Uzbekistan In an article written for cabar.asia, Rovshan Ibrahimov, an expert in the field of energy diplomacy, analyzes the fuel and energy complex of Uzbekistan and Uzbek gas export markets. Uzbekistan, as well as two other former Soviet republics located in Central Asia – Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, has rich hydrocarbon resources. As in the case with its neighbors, this is a determining factor in the development of the country. The presence of oil and gas deposits is a panacea for any country for resolving economic problems and even for achieving its political goals. Uzbekistan is no exception. After gaining independence in 1991, the country began to actively look for ways to increase production of their natural resources and for the markets to sell them. Natural gas, along with cotton, is a brand of the country. Oil plays a lesser role. According to the confirmed data of official Tashkent, potential oil resources in the country amount to more than 5.3 billion tonnes, gas condensate – 480 million tonnes, natural gas – about 5 billion cubic meters. Oil and natural gas are produced in the country in five oil and gas fields: “Ustyurt“, “Bukhara-Khivi“, “Southwestern Hissar“, “Surkhandarya” and “Ferghana“. Over the entire period of exploration works in Uzbekistan, there have been discovered 246 oil and gas fields. Consumption of energy resources is also high in Uzbekistan. The Uzbek economy is quite energy-intensive; the country is ranked the 10th in the consumption of gas in the world. In the oil and gas industry of Uzbekistan constitute about 16% of GDP, and its share in the revenue part of the budget is more than 20%. HISTORY OF UZBEK OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY The first wells on the territory of Uzbekistan were drilled as early as in 1880 in the Ferghana region. It is known that oil had been already extracted and processed into kerosene in the Shorsu area near Kokand in 1885. The kerosene was then brought to large cities such as Tashkent, Andijan and Kokand on carts and camels. The residual oil was used as fuel on the railroad “Tashkent – Kokand.” At the beginning of the 20th century, there was discovered a deposit “Chimion” in Uzbekistan, and the first oil-extracting enterprise in the territory of Turkestan region was created on “Chimion”. The construction of an oil refinery plant was completed, too. Subsequently, Nobel Brothers bought the field and the plant. Before the revolution, oil production was also started in other fields. An important event was the commissioning of the pipeline “Chimion – Vannovskaya” in 1908. Revolution and civil war in Russia suspended the development of crude oil in the region. Rovshan Ibrahimov: The current situation and future of the oil and gas sector in Uzbekistan After the establishment of Soviet power, industries were nationalized, and a public trust “Uzbekneft” was established. In 1925, “Uzbekneft” turned for help to the Azerbaijani oil industry association “Azneft“, and oil specialists from Baku came to Uzbekistan. In the following years, new deposits had been discovered and developed. Oil production began to increase in Uzbekistan. Search for promising deposits took place in the Bukhara- Khiva region and Surkhandarya. In the new regions, there were opened deposits of “Nefteabad“, “Changyrtash“, “Kokaidy“, “Lyalmikar“, gas deposits of “Karaiz“, “South Alamyshik“, “Uchkyzyl“, “Kakaydy“. Of great importance in terms of approval of oil and gas industry in Uzbekistan was the discovery of “Haudag” deposit in 1934. In 1944, there was commissioned the first gas pipeline “Oilfield Andijan – city of Andijan“, thanks to which there started the gasification of settlements in Uzbekistan. In 1953, in the Bukhara region, there was discovered the first natural gas field – “Setalantepe“. This event played a major role in the future development of Uzbekistan, in general, and began the formation of the gas industry in Uzbekistan, in particular. In subsequent years, there were discovered other gas fields here – “Tashkuduk“, “Ki-Merek“, “Yangikazgan“, “Uchkyr.” Thus, there was formed the Bukhara-Khiva oil and gas region. An important event occurred in 1956, when an oil and gas field of “Gazly” was discovered in Romitan district of Bukhara-Khiva oil and gas region of Uzbekistan, with reserves of 500 billion cubic meters. Thus, Uzbekistan turned into a producer of natural gas. Natural gas from this field is delivered to industrial facilities of the Urals and the European part of the Soviet Union. To transport the gas, “Bukhara – Ural” pipeline was built. In subsequent years, new oil and gas fields were discovered in the republic. In 1985, there was discovered a large oil and gas field of “Kokdumalak“, located on the border with Turkmenistan. This field is very important for the gas sector of Uzbekistan. Up to 70% of oil reserves in the country are in this deposit. After gaining independence, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan signed an agreement in 1997, under which a part of the oil produced at the field had to be delivered free to the Seidi oil refinery in Turkmenistan up until 2012. The extractable reserves are estimated at 54.3 million tonnes of oil, 67.4 million tonnes of condensate and 128 billion cubic meters of natural gas. In general, the oil fields were explored in the autonomous republic of Karakalpakstan, Kashkadarya, Bukhara, Surkhandarya, Namangan, Andijan and Ferghana regions. The bulk of oil reserves are concentrated in the Kashkadarya region. An important event for the fuel and energy complex of Uzbekistan was the beginning of the operation of Mubarek Gas Processing Plant in Kashkadarya region in 1972, which, at that time, was one of the largest in the world. The commissioning of this enterprise was the beginning of gas processing in Uzbekistan. Another major gas processing plant was built in Shurtan in 1980. Development of the oil and gas sector of Uzbekistan after independence Rovshan Ibrahimov: The current situation and future of the oil and gas sector in Uzbekistan An interesting development of the energy sector was observed after Uzbekistan gained independence. Unlike other post-Soviet states of Central Asia, whose economies are based on oil and gas extraction, Uzbekistan managed to avoid recession rates of oil and gas extraction. Moreover, during the period from 1991 to 1998, production of oil and condensate increased from 2.8 million tonnes to the peak level of 8.2 million in 1998. The main production of oil and gas condensate was ensured by the exploitation of “Kokdumalak” deposit. However, the increase in production was achieved at great cost. Improper use has led to the depletion of already limited reserves. In addition, it is worth noting that oil production in the country is negligible. After that, there was a recession whose culmination was in 2001. At that time, the average production was about 3.5 million tonnes of oil and condensate per year, including the gas condensate. However, in subsequent years, again in contrast to other former republics of the Soviet Union, there was a decline in oil and gas production in Uzbekistan. And this trend is irreversible. Oil and natural gas reserves are getting depleted. In 2012, there was produced 1.57 million tonnes of oil, the rest was the condensate. In 2013, there was produced even less – only 2.9 million tonnes. At the same time, oil production continues to decline. Total reserves of proven oil reserves in Uzbekistan is about 530 million tonnes. However, even these relatively modest reserves are located in the depths of around 100 oil, gas and gas condensate fields. This complicates the process of their extraction. According to the Uzbek authorities, oil reserves will suffice for the next 20 years. The produced oil is not even enough to meet the needs of the country. Uzbekistan is only half self-sufficient in oil, despite the fact that having a relatively large population – about 30 million people, the annual consumption of oil in the country is very modest, and in 2013, it was only 3.9 million tonnes. The difference between the produced and consumed oil was imported. At the same time, imports of oil are growing every year. A somewhat different picture can be seen in the sector of natural gas. In 2014, Uzbekistan was in 15th place in the world in production of natural gas, having produced approximately 57.3 billion cubic meters of gas. There is a drop in the production of natural gas, too. For example, gas production in 2012 amounted to about 63 billion cubic meters. In addition, there were produced 273.6 ths. tonnes of liquefied gas. In 2013, the country produced 55.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas. Gas is mainly produced in the areas of “Gazli” and “Kashli“. However, the figures from different sources may differ because official statistics on oil, gas condensate and natural gas in Uzbekistan are not published. It is estimated that reserves of natural gas in Uzbekistan will suffice for the next 25-30 years. Uzbekistan is trying to increase the production of oil and gas, or at least to prevent its decline. One solution to this problem is to invite foreign energy companies that have greater financial resources and advanced technology in the exploration and development. This process has continued since the beginning of the 2000s. Rovshan Ibrahimov: The current situation and future of the oil and gas sector in Uzbekistan To this end, the legislation of the republic has been improved, significant tax benefits for foreign investors have been provided. In December 2001, there was adopted the Law “On Production Sharing Agreements“; in 2002, there was adopted the new version of the Law “On Mineral Resources“. As a result, a number of foreign companies such as Russia’s Gazprom, Lukoil, British- Canadian company Tethys Petroleum (in 2014, the company left Uzbekistan), China’s CNPC were involved to participate in the projects in the country.

  • UZBEKISTAN In-Depth Review
    UZBEKISTAN In-Depth Review of the Investment Climate and Market Structure in the Energy Sector 2005 Energy Charter Secretariat ENERGY CHARTER SUMMARY AND MAIN FINDINGS OF THE SECRETARIAT Uzbekistan, a Central Asian country located at the ancient Silk Road, is rich in hydrocarbon resources, especially natural gas. Proved gas reserves amount to about 1.85 trillion cubic meters, exceeding the confirmed oil reserves of about 600 million barrels nearly 20-fold on energy equivalent basis. Most of the existing oil and gas fields are in the Bukhara-Kiva region which accounts for approximately 70 percent of Uzbekistan’s oil production. The second largest concentration of oil fields is in the Fergana region. Natural gas comes mainly from the Amudarya basin and the Murabek area in the southwest of Uzbekistan, making up almost 95 percent of total gas production. The endowment with oil and gas offers considerable potential for further economic development of Uzbekistan. Its recent economic performance has been promising, with a GDP growth of above 7 percent in 2004, and an outlook for continuous robust growth in 2005 and beyond. To what extent it can be realised depends crucially on how the government will pursue its policies concerning investment liberalisation and market restructuring, including privatisation, in the energy sector. While the Uzbek authorities recognize the critical role that foreign investment plays for the exploitation of the hydrocarbon resources and the overhaul of the existing energy infrastructure progress has been relatively slow concerning the establishment of a favourable investment climate for many years. However, the Government has recently adopted a far more positive stance that has already brought about tangible results.

  • Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History
    humanities Article Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History Craig Benjamin Frederik J Meijer Honors College, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] Received: 23 May 2018; Accepted: 9 July 2018; Published: 20 July 2018 Abstract: Central Asia has one of the deepest and richest histories of any region on the planet. First settled some 6500 years ago by oasis-based farming communities, the deserts, steppe and mountains of Central Asia were subsequently home to many pastoral nomadic confederations, and also to large scale complex societies such as the Oxus Civilization and the Parthian and Kushan Empires. Central Asia also functioned as the major hub for trans-Eurasian trade and exchange networks during three distinct Silk Roads eras. Throughout much of the second millennium of the Common Era, then under the control of a succession of Turkic and Persian Islamic dynasties, already impressive trading cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand were further adorned with superb madrassas and mosques. Many of these suffered destruction at the hands of the Mongols in the 13th century, but Timur and his Timurid successors rebuilt the cities and added numerous impressive buildings during the late-14th and early-15th centuries. Further superb buildings were added to these cities by the Shaybanids during the 16th century, yet thereafter neglect by subsequent rulers, and the drying up of Silk Roads trade, meant that, by the mid-18th century when expansive Tsarist Russia began to incorporate these regions into its empire, many of the great pre- and post-Islamic buildings of Central Asia had fallen into ruin.

  • Caspian Oil and Gas Complements Other IEA Studies of Major Supply Regions, Such As Middle East Oil and Gas and North African Oil and Gas
    3 FOREWORD The Caspian region contains some of the largest undeveloped oil and gas reserves in the world. The intense interest shown by the major international oil and gas companies testifies to its potential. Although the area is unlikely to become “another Middle East”, it could become a major oil supplier at the margin, much as the North Sea is today. As such it could help increase world energy security by diversifying global sources of supply. Development of the region’s resources still faces considerable obstacles. These include lack of export pipelines and the fact that most new pipeline proposals face routing difficulties due to security of supply considerations,transit complications and market uncertainties. There are also questions regarding ownership of resources, as well as incomplete and often contradictory investment regimes. This study is an independent review of the major issues facing oil and gas sector developments in the countries along the southern rim of the former Soviet Union that are endowed with significant petroleum resources: Azerbaijan, Kazakstan,Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Caspian Oil and Gas complements other IEA studies of major supply regions, such as Middle East Oil and Gas and North African Oil and Gas. It also expands on other IEA studies of the area, including Energy Policies of the Russian Federation and Energy Policies of Ukraine. The study was undertaken with the co-operation of the Energy Charter Secretariat, for which I would like to thank its Secretary General, Mr. Peter Schütterle. Robert Priddle Executive Director 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The IEA wishes to acknowledge the very helpful co-operation of the Energy Charter Secretariat, with special thanks to Marat Malataev, Temuri Japaridze, Khamidulah Shamsiev and Galina Romanova.
