Also its a gateway for Southwest and Central Asian countires. The Central Asia region has an area of 1.6 million square miles. Total oil reserves of the Caspian Sea region are estimated at above 200billion barrels. Currently total production is 1 million barrel per day. It is estimated that this could reach 3.4 million barrel per day by the year 2012, assuming the increased demand of oil in the world markets.

Main reservoirs of oil and gas are in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
