The Sherepli gas field in the Mary province in southeastern Turkmenistan has been obtained an industrial flow of natural gas, the Nebit-Gaz newspaper reports.

"According to experts, the daily well production rate is 695,000 cubic meters of natural gas. Such a primary production volume gives reason to believe that this field is quite promising," the report said.
