Turkmenistan Gas Field Is One of World's Largest.

The article reports that the South Yolotan-Osman natural gas field in the southeast of Turkmenistan is the fifth largest in the world. This is revealed in a study conducted by Gaffney Cline & Associates, an oil advisory firm. The field contains between 4 to 14 trillion cubic meters of gas. For years, Turkmenistan's dictator Saparmurat Niyazov shunned investors. After his death in December 2006, BP PLC, Chevron Corp. and Total SA flocked to Ashgabad, the Turkmen capital, looking for business deals.
