The following companies were NIS’ partners during the previous period: Burren (ENI), Dragon Oil, consortium “Hazar” (Mitro), Calik Enerјi and Turkmenneft. Moreover, oilfield service activities are conducted in Turkmenistan based on the agreements entered into with the Company Dragon Oil for drilling within the oil platform.
