Every year on December 14, Turkmenistan celebrates the Day of Oil and Gas Industry and Geology Workers. Its appearance in the calendar of holidays and memorable dates of the country is associated with an important economic event – the commissioning of the Turkmenistan–China gas pipeline. And on December 13, 2015, with the participation of the leaders of four countries, the construction of the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) gas pipeline was launched.
The length of TAPI is approximately 1,814 kilometers. At the same time, 214 kilometers of the transnational pipeline have been laid across the territory of our country, which at the end point will reach the settlement of Fazilka in India. The annual capacity of the new pipeline, which is of great economic importance for all participating countries, will be 33 billion cubic meters.
