For uninterrupted gas supply of settlements of the country, including the remote ones, the mounting crews of “Turkmengazupjunchilik” Association of “Turkmengaz” State Concern have laid and reconstructed in the last year over 800 kilometers of gas pipes. Currently, the Association serves more than 42 thousand kilometers of gas pipelines and over 890 thousand - gas consumers. 97.4 percent of the country's territory was fully gasified.
Only in Lebap province within a year, the natural gas was provided to residential settlements of fifteen etraps. Since last year, blue fuel smoothly flows into the villages located in Koytendag foothills - Koiten, Gurshun Magdanly, Bazartepe. The gas network was brought to the remotest mountain village - Hojapil located on the eastern border of the country.
Natural gas instead of liquid is delivered now through the pipes to villages situated in the desert regions of Ahal province - in Baharly, Kaahka, Tejen etraps, Altyn Asyr etrap. In the Central Karakum, the residential and administrative buildings of Derweze etrap - Bokurdag village are supplied with natural gas. More than 534 kilometers of gas pipes were laid to newly created villages.
