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 2022, the construction of the fourth segment of the pipeline was still ongoing. As of August 2024, there have not been any updates about the project.

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.
