Background

In 1919-2020, the Gazli-Kagan Gas Pipeline I and II were upgraded, and 720-mm pipelines were substituted with 1020-mm pipelines on the section 27-78 km.

In November 2023, the construction of the fourth segment of the pipeline was still ongoing. As of September 2023, there have not been any updates yet.

Environment and social impacts

A group of women blocked a road in the Bukhara region in 2021 to demand the supply of gas to their homes from the pipeline under construction. They currently use liquefied gas cylinders.
