At the enlarged meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of
Turkmenistan which took place on April 5 devoted to results of
social and economic development of the country for the first
quarter 2017, the President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov made
the speech in which he analyzed the state of affairs and
formulated key tasks of development of primary branches of
national economy including the oil and gas complex.
In particular, speaking about key aspects of activities of energy
industry, the head of state focused attention on a growth in
volumes of export of production of the oil and gas industry, a
construction of a gas-chemical complex based on the gas fields
rich with the high-structured ethane.
"The combination of such productions will give the chance to
issue various polymers which are the main component for
production of hundreds of types of industrial output. It is
necessary to develop more intensively the gas-processing
industry for the purpose of release in the country of ammonia, a
carbamide and technical carbon, to increase amounts of the
made liquefied gas which is in great demand in the world
markets".
According to the head of state, these major production directions
will allow to diversify national economy, having become an
alternative of natural gas export by pipelines. In this context it is
necessary to continue implementation of measures for technical
retrofitting of industries of fuel and energy complex, a construction
of the new plants, development and commissioning of earlier
found oil and gas fields.
