Booster compressor station to be commissioned in Malay field

Powerful booster compressor station will be put into operation soon at Malay Gas Field in Lebap Region. Most of construction works has been accomplished. Design capacity of the station is 30 billion cubic meters of gas per year.

The Malay Field in Karakums, which is located 80 km away from Turkmenabat, is under industrial development for more than 20 years. For all these year, gas complex has not only provided cities, villages and industrial facilities of the eastern region with gas but also provided many billions of cubic meters of gas to export pipeline. Naturally, as gas is extracted from the subsoil of the field, layer pressure has considerably reduced.

In order to stabilize the level of gas production, the State Concern Turkmengaz has decided to build modern booster compressor station at the field, which is to increase the pressure of the well and pumping of gas. At the moment, the provision of the station with modern compressor units and other technological and auxiliary equipment procured from famous world producers of profile equipment is carried out.

Operation and monitoring of all production processes will be carried out by digital technologies.
