Preparations for the 30th International Conference and Exhibition "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan 2025," which will be held from October 22 to 24, 2025, in Ashgabat, continue to gather momentum. The event is organized by the Turkmengas and Turkmennebit State Concerns, the Turkmengeology State Corporation, and the Turkmen Energy Forum.
According to the organizers of the upcoming forum, delegates can expect a record number of participants, innovative networking opportunities, and specialized sessions designed to foster connections between Turkmen companies and international partners.
Since its founding in 1995, OGT has grown into one of the largest energy events in the region. The 2025 forum promises to be a landmark event, with over 1,000 delegates, over 300 companies and organizations, and participants from 60 countries across five continents expected.
Over 100 companies will participate in the exhibition, a 45% increase over OGT 2024. These include over 40 new companies and over 100 delegates visiting Ashgabat for the first time. This growth is unprecedented in the forum's history and testifies to Turkmenistan's growing role on the global energy map.
A key element of the OGT 2025 program will be four specialized roundtables, providing a unique format for in-depth technical and strategic discussions.
Two roundtables, held in partnership with SPE, will focus on cutting-edge technical issues in the oil and gas industry, providing experts from Turkmenistan's national energy companies the opportunity to directly exchange experiences with global experts on best practices, digitalization, and field development.
Two roundtables, in partnership with S&P Global Commodity Insights, will explore energy trends, investment opportunities, and regional cooperation, providing a high-level forum for strategic dialogue between Turkmen and international energy leaders.
These roundtables are expected to be among the conference's highlights, offering an exceptional platform for knowledge sharing, technical expertise, and networking for both national and international participants.
OGT 2025 will also offer ample networking opportunities, allowing attendees to connect with industry peers in a relaxed atmosphere. The forum program includes more than 10 coffee breaks, creating a dynamic atmosphere for dialogue. Four gala dinners are also planned, bringing together senior representatives from government agencies, international oil and gas corporations, and investment companies.
