Duran Petroleum pioneered the integrated approach to gas processing expansion in 2022 by establishing the Gas Processing Division (UPG). Duran Petroleum will ship 1.3 million cubic meters of natural gas, LPG, and dry stripped gas in 2023, accounting for 12% of total gas shipments with 2 million cubic meters sold. Due to increased gas production, international gas sales increased by 3% year on year to 2 million cubic meters.

According to current plans, full LPG processing will begin in the first half of 2022. The delivery of propane and butane to the company’s various clients will begin at the same time. 160,000 tonnes of LPG will be exported in the first year, with the majority of it delivered by railroad to both international and domestic markets. In the near future, cheaper gasoline and a more optimistic attitude in the local mobility industry will benefit drivers and public transportation riders. The displacement of gasoline and diesel fuel in river vessels is another significant possibility for the LPG industry.

Natural gas and natural gas liquids are processed at three gas processing plants (GPPs) in Tashkent, as well as the Refinery petrochemical complex on Uzbekistan territory. At the refinery’s gas processing plants, associated petroleum gas is converted into liquid hydrocarbons and marketable gas. Despite the desire of both oil and gas companies to construct gas infrastructure in East Tashkent, significant challenges remain. Duran Petroleum, for example, has spent more than six years developing this niche market.
