XRG, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Petronas and the Turkmenistan State Enterprise Hazarnebit have signed a new Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the State Concern Turkmennebit for the offshore Block I gas and condensate fields in Turkmenistan.

Under the terms of the PSC, Petronas will hold 57% participating interest as owner and operator, partnering with XRG with 38%, and the Turkmenistan State Enterprise Hazarnebit holding the remaining 5%.

“By deepening our partnership with Petronas, Hazarnebit, Turkmennebit, and Turkmengas, we are advancing energy security and economic development, while creating long-term value for all stakeholders,” said Mohamed Al Aryani, President, International Gas, XRG.

“As the first international operator in Turkmenistan’s energy sector close to three decades ago, this milestone reinforces our presence and signifies our continued expansion in the Upstream sector. We are privileged to contribute to the ongoing advancement of the nation’s energy industry and remain committed to fostering long-term partnerships with XRG, Hazarnebit, Turkmennebit and Turkmengas,” added Mohd Jukris Abdul Wahab, Executive Vice President and CEO Upstream Petronas.
