The Galkynysh Gas Field, formerly known as Iolotan gas field or South Yolotan – Osman field, is a large natural gas field near Ýolöten in Mary Province of Turkmenistan. It is the world's second-largest gas field.[1]
History
The discovery of the gas field was announced on 2 November 2006.[2] Late Turkmen president Saparmurat Niyazov invited Chinese CNPC and Turkish Çalik Enerji to participate in the exploration and development of the Ýolöten field.[3] In 2008, the gas field was audited by Gaffney, Cline & Associates.[4][5] According to Gaffney, Cline and Associates (GCA), Galkynysh is five times larger than the Dauletabad gas field and fourth- or fifth-largest gas field in the world.[6]
In December 2009, the contracts to develop the field were awarded to CNPC, Hyundai Engineering and Petrofac.[7]
In November 2011, the field was renamed as Galkynysh.[8] Production started in September 2013.[9]
