Eurasian Associated Gas Market Led by Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Russia

Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan play a crucial role in supplying associated gas to the Eurasian market, according to a report by the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF). The Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli complex is a significant contributor to associated gas production in Azerbaijan, while major oil projects such as Tengiz and Kashagan drive production in Kazakhstan.

Russia remains the largest source of associated gas in Eurasia, due to its extensive hydrocarbon resources and large oil production volumes. The country's developed gas infrastructure enables the collection, processing, and utilization of associated gas, particularly in Western Siberia.

The report highlights the potential for capturing associated gas and utilizing it for various purposes, including domestic energy supply, industry, and other productive uses. This can increase the value derived from oil production while supporting regional gas supplies.
