Commissioning of the new operational facilities at South-West Gissar project, including a gas treatment plant with the nominal capacity of 4.4 billion cubic meters a year, a gas pre-treatment unit and six gas gathering units, made it possible to bring gas production at Gissar cluster of fields up to the designed capacity of 5 billion cubic meters a year.
