Natural gas - much of it exported to the US - is expected to overtake oil as its main source of revenue. Dependence on oil has made the republic a hostage to world crude prices, whose fall during the 1980s and early 1990s led to the build-up of a large foreign debt, widespread unemployment and labour unrest.
