The Dauletabad gas field (until 1991 known as Sovietabad) is the largest natural gas field in
Turkmenistan with estimated reserves of 1.4 trillion cubic meters (TCM) of gas. However, there are some doubts about the size of actual reserves.The production started at the Dauletabad field in
1983. After the independence of
Turkmenistan, production declined significantly, but increased again after
1998. Currently, the gas is exported via the
Central Asia-Centre gas pipeline. The Dauletabad field has been cited as a possible supply source for the
Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline, but according to the
Asian Development Bank, the field's production forecasts are "lower than expected" and that "production is predicted to decline."
