Uzbekistan Fuel
The capital city Tashkent is the largest city in Central Asia
and today Uzbekistan is rich in natural resources, including oil,
gas, gold and uranium. In 2010, Uzbekistan was the largest producer
of gas in Central Asia and ranked 14th worldwide.
Uzbekistan has five oil and gas bearing regions with proven
industrial reserves namely the Ustyurt, Bukhara‐Khiva, Ghissar,
Surkhandarya and Ferghana. Currently there are a total of 202
hydrocarbon sites in the country and the BP Statistical Review of
World Energy 2011 lists proven reserves as 0.6 billion barrels of
oil and 1.6 trillion cubic metres of natural gas. Uzbekistan is a
sizable exporter of natural gas and the US State Department
estimates that Uzbekistan exported 15.2 billion cubic metres of
natural gas in 2009 and, as a share of total world natural gas
production, Uzbekistan represented some 2% at the end of 2009. The
US State Department estimates that natural gas exports are now the
country's dominant source of foreign currency earnings (surpassing
the role of the cotton industry). The gas pipeline infrastructure
is well developed with some 13,000 km of gas pipelines at present.
Gas is exported to Russia and Europe through the Bukhara‐Urals and
Asia‐ Centre trunklines and, with the completion of the Central
Asia ‐ China gas pipeline, gas exports eastwards will commence.
Although Uzbekistan is primarily a gas producer, it also produces
reasonable quantities of oil ‐ some 87,000 barrels per day, in
2010. Despite its significant existing oil and gas production,
there are still large areas of Uzbekistan relatively underexplored,
and significant existing deposits still available for investment
and further co‐operation.

Fuel Transportation
The Fuel distribution infrastructure is divided into three major
segments; Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary. Collectively these
systems employ tankers, barges, rail cars, tank trucks,
thousands of miles of pipeline, and hundreds of storage
terminals, and of course the refineries. By petroleum industry
definition the Primary Distribution System includes oil gathering
at the well head, transport to gathering tanks, crude oil
storage, and refinery processing. The secondary system is
downstream of the refinery and includes finished product
pipelines and destination terminals. Product is moved to
refinery finished product tankage for distribution into the product
transportation network. This includes transfer to tanks for
shipment into pipelines and for many refineries to tankage for
loading waterborne cargoes (i.e. tankers or barges). The
refined products pipeline system consists of approximately 72,000
miles of line and carries well over half of the gasoline to
market. Product moved by pipeline, ship or barge is transported
to bulk storage finished product terminals. A finished
product terminal may consist of just a few small tanks storing
perhaps 50,000 barrels or numerous tanks, both large and
small, storing a combined total of millions of barrels of
finished
product. It may in some cases be owned by an individual petroleum
company, jointly operated by two or more companies, or it may
be independently owned by a company whose sole purpose is the
storage and outloading of their customers' products. Some
terminals may store and distribute only gasoline or diesel.
Larger terminals typically handle a full range of light
products. Terminals may receive product by either pipeline,
barge, ship, or rail or some combination
thereof. In addition, some terminals can receive product via
transport truck. Terminals serving the
retail markets have one or more transport truck loading racks.
There are hundreds of gasoline distribution terminals across the
United States. From the finished product terminal, product is
then distributed by transport tank truck to the retail outlets
and, in some cases, to bulk plants. A small amount of product is
also moved by rail.
