Data definition
Natural Gas Liquids Production — - Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) Production refers to the total volume of liquid hydrocarbons recovered from natural gas during production and processing within a given year. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and includes hydrocarbons that are separated from natural gas streams because they condense into liquids under normal surface conditions. Major components include ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline (pentanes plus). This indicator reflects a country's capability to recover valuable liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas production and is widely used to assess upstream gas processing activity, hydrocarbon resource utilization, and supply of feedstocks for petrochemical, heating, and transportation applications.
The data includes the production of all major natural gas liquids recovered from natural gas processing plants and field separation facilities, including ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline (pentanes plus). It covers NGLs produced from both associated gas (produced alongside crude oil) and non-associated natural gas fields. Production from onshore and offshore operations is included, and the indicator reflects volumes recovered before further refining or fractionation into individual products. The data is compiled using standardized international energy reporting methodologies based on national production statistics and industry sources, enabling consistent comparison of NGL production across countries and over time.
The data excludes dry natural gas (methane) that remains in the gas stream after NGL extraction, as well as crude oil, lease condensate, refined petroleum products, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) produced through refinery processing rather than direct natural gas recovery. It also excludes synthetic liquid fuels derived from coal, biomass, or gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies unless explicitly included in the reporting methodology. The indicator does not measure NGL consumption, reserves, imports, exports, storage, or petrochemical production. Minor differences may occur due to variations in national reporting standards, processing technologies, product classifications, and estimation methodologies across countries.

This indicator reflects a country's capability to recover valuable liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas production and is widely used to assess upstream gas processing activity, hydrocarbon resource utilization, and supply of feedstocks for petrochemical, heating, and transportation applications.
Measured in thousand barrels daily, the dataset reflects NGL volumes recovered during natural gas processing and serves as an important indicator of gas resource utilization, processing efficiency, upstream investment, and hydrocarbon sector development. It enables assessment of production trends, supply availability, operational efficiency, and long-term market performance while supporting analysis of Turkmenistan's natural gas processing industry.
Turkmenistan's NGL production increased steadily from 17 thousand barrels daily in 2015 to 20 thousand in 2016, 21 thousand in 2017, 23 thousand in 2018, and 27 thousand in 2019. Production continued rising to 30 thousand barrels daily in 2020, reflecting the highest level recorded during the first half of the review period. Output eased slightly to 27 thousand barrels daily in 2021, recovered to 30 thousand in 2022, and moderated marginally to 28 thousand barrels daily in 2023. Despite these minor fluctuations, production remained significantly above the 2015 level, indicating sustained development of the country's NGL processing activities.
Overall, the dataset demonstrates gradual long-term growth in Turkmenistan's NGL production with only limited year-to-year fluctuations during the later years of the review period. The stable production profile reflects consistent natural gas processing activity, effective utilization of hydrocarbon resources, and resilient upstream operations. The dataset serves as a valuable resource for monitoring NGL production performance, evaluating supply trends, supporting energy market analysis, forecasting future production, assessing upstream investment, and enabling policymakers, researchers, investors, and industry stakeholders to formulate informed energy strategies and long-term production planning.
