The state concern «Turkmennebit» is working on a massive reduction in the loss of associated petroleum gas, collecting it at the oil wells of the Lebap, Mary and Balkan regions of Turkmenistan.
This was reported at a working meeting in the UN building in Ashgabat, which was attended by specialists from ministries and departments involved in institutional and technical support of state policy in the field of environmental protection with the support of UN units and various government agencies.
