Gissar project includes seven fields, comprising of Adamtash, Djarkuduk – Yangi Kizilcha, Gumbulak, Amanata and Pachkamar gas condensate fields, as well as Akkul oil and gas condensate field and Koshkuduk oil field.

The facilities include a gas treatment plant with the annual rated capacity of 4.4 billion cubic meters, gas pretreatment unit and four gas-gathering stations.

The new operations allowed Gissar fields cluster to reach planned production level of 14 million cubic meters per day or five billion cubic meters per year.

Currently, 37 producing wells are present at the Gissar project.

Gissar project includes 300km of high-voltage power-transmission lines, two power substations and 126km of roads. It also features 286km of linear pipelines.

In 2008, Lukoil first entered into the South-West Gissar project. The company signed production sharing agreement for the project, which is valid up to 2043. Lukoil and the Republic of Uzbekistan are the participants in PSA.

Lukoil said that it generated 1.7 billion cubic meters of gas at the project last year.

In 2015, GE secured a contract from Eriell to offer lectrification technology to Lukoil to increase gas production in the southwest Gissar project in Kashkadarya.

Under the deal, the company supplied centrifugal compressors featuring GE Energy Management-developed variable speed drive system (VSDS).

Eriell served as the contractor for Adamtash, Gumbulak, Djarkuduk-Yangi Kizilcha gas condensate fields.
