Crude Oil and Condensate Production — - Crude Oil and Condensate Production refers to the total volume of crude oil and lease condensate extracted from oil and gas reservoirs within a country during a given year. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and represents the production of unrefined liquid hydrocarbons before processing or refining. Crude oil is the naturally occurring liquid petroleum extracted from underground reservoirs, while condensate is a light hydrocarbon liquid that separates from natural gas when pressure and temperature decrease during production. This indicator provides insight into a country's upstream petroleum production capacity, resource availability, and contribution to global oil supply.
Measured in thousand barrels daily, the dataset reflects domestic crude oil and condensate production, making it an important indicator of upstream energy activity, resource utilization, export capability, and petroleum sector performance.
Turkmenistan recorded crude oil and condensate production of 254 thousand barrels daily in 2015, declining to 250 thousand barrels daily in 2016 and 248 thousand barrels daily in 2017. Production continued to decrease to 236 thousand barrels daily in 2018 and 228 thousand barrels daily in 2019. Output fell more sharply to 189 thousand barrels daily in 2020 amid weaker market conditions and lower upstream activity. Production declined further to 179 thousand barrels daily in 2021, 173 thousand barrels daily in 2022, and 166 thousand barrels daily in 2023, marking the lowest production level during the review period.
Overall, the dataset highlights a sustained long-term decline in Turkmenistan's crude oil and condensate production. The trend reflects maturing producing fields, limited production growth, and changing upstream investment dynamics affecting the country's petroleum sector.
The dataset serves as a valuable resource for monitoring national oil production performance, evaluating upstream sector developments, and assessing long-term supply trends. It also supports production forecasting, investment analysis, energy market assessments, and policy development. Researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders can use the information to evaluate production efficiency, resource management strategies, and future exploration opportunities while supporting informed decision-making across Turkmenistan's petroleum industry.
