CentGas

Central Asia Gas Pipeline, Ltd. (CentGas) was a consortium formed in the 1990s to develop a project to build the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline from Turkmenistan's natural gas fields to Pakistan.^[1] The consortium had also considered an extension of the pipeline to the New Delhi area. Regional and political instability proved too great a challenge to overcome and the project eventually was cancelled after Unocal (the largest CentGas investor) withdrew from the consortium.

Consortium group members[]

The consortium was led by Union Oil Company of California (Unocal) and of Saudi Arabia. Original members of Cent Gas were:

Unocal Corporation - one of the world's leading energy resource and project development companies
Delta Oil Company (Saudi Arabia) - privately owned by
Gazprom (Russia)
Government of Turkmenistan; Turkmenrusgas
Indonesia Petroleum, Ltd. (INPEX) (Japan)
ITOCHU Oil Exploration Co., Ltd. (CIECO) (Japan)
Hyundai Engineering and Construction (South Korea) - among top global general contractors
Crescent Group (Pakistan) - premier industrial and financial conglomerate in Pakistan

In June 1998, Gazprom relinquishes its 10% stake in the CentGas pipeline project. On 8 December 1998, Unocal announced that it was withdrawing from the CentGas consortium.
