About oil and gas
Accepted by the Resolution MH MOPT of January 7, 2015, No. 1729
Approved by the Resolution MM MORT of March 5, 2015 No. 795
This Law establishes legal, economic, organizational basis and state policy in the field of oil and gas and is aimed at the development of this industry in the Republic of Tajikistan.
In this Law the following basic concepts are used:
- oil - the combustible oily liquid widespread in sedimentary cover of the earth consisting of complex mix of hydrocarbons, some types of cyclones and aren, oxygen, sulphurous and nitrogenous connections which is considered the major useful mineral;
- natural gas - the hydrocarbons which are in gaseous state under temperature conditions and normal atmospheric pressure which after department of liquid karbogidrat remain as net gas;
- object of the pipeline of transfer of oil and gas - set of the pipelines performing oil supply and gas to users;
- oil transportation and gas - oil transportation and gas to objects and specialized means for the purpose of their conversion and further use;
- investigation - all types of the geological, geophysical surveys, structural and parameter drilling connected with search and detection of oil and gas deposits;
- seismic exploration - geophysical survey of subsoil for determination of structure and amount of oil and gas;
- the contractual territory - the mining-and-geological territory divided into sites in which the owner of the license has the right to carry out works on search, construction and oil and gas extraction, according to the agreement;
- prospective areas - squares which geological structure is determined as a result of geological studying, seismic exploration and assessment of the conducted research;
- object of the bulk distribution line of oil and gas - the engineering construction consisting of part of the line of the pipeline and the land equipment for oil transportation and gas, and also the pipeline integrated to it to shipping places of oil and gas;
- oil and gas transactions - set of works on designing, seismological and geological investigation, production, construction and operation of fields;
- oil and gas extraction - complex of the works connected with oil and gas extraction from subsoil, their conversion including minerals in places of temporary oil storage and gas;
- gas condensate - mix of hydrocarbons, temperatures which are under normal conditions and pressure in gaseous state and turning into liquid state without compression in case of corresponding pressure decrease and temperatures;
- liquefied natural gas - the natural gas which is artificially transferred to liquid state for convenience of storage and transportation;
- technology losses - irreversible losses of oil, gas, oil products and liquefied natural gas which result from effects of their primary physical and chemical properties, influence of meteorological factors and extent of enhancement of the applied engineering procedures, technical means and actions for economy of oil, gas, oil products and liquefied natural gas in case of production, collection, preparation, conversion (production), transportation and storage;
- authorized state body of oil and gas industry the state executive body of the power performing state regulation of designing, search, investigation, production, storage, conversion and transportation of oil and gas products.

This Law covers the activities of physical persons and legal entities connected with designing, search, investigation, production, conversion, transportation, storage, rendering rescue services including the state control for safety in oil and gas industry.
1. Oil and gas deposits are exclusive property of the state. The extracted oil and gas in accordance with the terms can be property of legal entities, including joint property of foreign physical persons and legal entities.
2. The property which cost in accordance with the terms of the license is compensated by the state in the form of got oil and gas is state-owned property. The licensee has exclusive right to use of the specified property during all effective period of the license and bears responsibility for its safety and target uses.
Competence of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan of oil and gas industry:
- determination of single state policy in oil and gas industry;
- approval of regulatory legal acts, normative and technical acts in the field of designing, investigations, opening, production, transportation, storage and turnover of gas and oil products;
- determination of authorized state body in oil and gas industry;
- creation of the Republican reserve fund of oil and gas deposits;
- statement of structure of the commission and regulations on procedure for carrying out tenders on provision of right to use by prospective areas with oil and gas fields;
- approval of instructions for use the geological and geophysical data which are state-owned property for the training, scientific, commercial purposes and export them out of limits of the Republic of Tajikistan for further research;
- establishment of procedure for entering into the state stock balance of oil and gas and their exception of the state balance;
- approval of the line of construction of bulk distribution lines;
- other powers, stipulated by the legislation Republic of Tajikistan.
In the field of oil and gas (further - the state authorized body) treat powers of the state authorized body:
- realization of state policy in the field of oil and gas;
- submission of projects of regulatory legal acts, normative and technical acts in the field of designing, investigations, opening, production, transportation, storage and turnover of gas and oil products to the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan for approval;
- development and approval of industry regulatory legal acts, normative and methodical acts, standards and methodical materials;
