1991-1997: Oil Investment in Central Asia Follows Soviet Collapse<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Soviet Union collapses in 1991, creating several new nations in Central Asia.

The oil companies commit to $35 billion in future direct investments in Kazakhstan. It is believed at the time that these oil fields will have an estimated $6 trillion potential value.
