在烏茲別克斯坦決定推遲建設天然氣液化（GTL）工廠一個月之后，鄰國土庫曼斯坦稱其正準備啟動一項類似的工程。
烏茲別克斯坦曾計劃建設GTL工廠，該工廠每年可轉化35億立方米的天然氣，生產864,000噸柴油、304,000噸航空煤油、395,000噸石腦油，以及11,200噸液化氣。根據計劃，該工程將在2014年開始，2017年8月開始作業。
在天然氣價格低于石油產品價格的情況下，建設GTL工廠十分有利。然而，當前低油價的行情不利于GTL工廠的發展。因此南非Sasol公司以目前油價較低為由，表示其正在猶豫是否要加入建設耗資56億美元的烏茲別克斯坦GTL工廠。然而，一個月后，土庫曼斯坦政府稱其將建設類似的工廠。
土庫曼斯坦政府發布的聲明顯示：由Turkmengaz公司、LG公司、韓國Hyundai公司和日本Itochu公司組成的聯盟將會合建該工廠，每年在土庫曼斯坦中部的Ahal省將37億立方米的天然氣轉化為液體合成燃料。
土庫曼斯坦政府并沒有公布工程建設成本和開始日期，但是政府稱工廠每年將生產110萬公噸柴油和40萬公噸石腦油。石油圈原創www.h29736.cn

A month after the postponement of a gas-to-liquids plant in Uzbekistan, neighbouring Turkmenistan announced that it is preparing to start a similar project.
GTL relies on the cost of gas being lower than oil products with which it competes, so today’s low oil prices discourage this kind of investment.
According to a government announcement, a consortium including state Turkmengaz company, LG, Hyundai (South Korea) and Itochu (Japan) would build the plant, aimed at converting 3.7bn m3/yr of natural gas into liquid synthetic fuels (GTL) in Ahal province, in the central region of Turkmenistan.
No costs were disclosed or the start date, but the government said that it would produce 1.1mn mt/yr of diesel and 0.4mn mt/yr of naphtha.
Turkmenistan’s plan to build a GTL plant came a month after South Africa’s Sasol announced that it is reviewing its plan to participate in building a $5.6bn GTL plant in Uzbekistan, citing current low oil prices as its reason.
Uzbekistan’s GTL plant has been projected to convert 3.5bn m3/yr of natural gas to produce 864,000 tons of diesel fuel; 304,000 tons of aviation kerosene; 395,000 tons of naphtha; and 11,200 tons of liquefied gas.
The project was planned to start in 2014 and was expected to become operational by August 2017.
