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%.
