The upcoming conference will feature high-ranking representatives of the government of Turkmenistan, leaders of national and international oil and gas companies, top management of energy organizations, as well as major international institutes and research centers.

Key topics for discussion include:

• Energy prospects, new technologies, and ecological aspects of hydrocarbon field development;

• New technologies and energy transition: looking into the future;

• Reducing methane and carbon dioxide emissions during hydrocarbon extraction and monetization;

• New opportunities for environmental financing and initiatives in promoting clean energy.

An impressive list of delegates includes representatives from well-known international companies such as CNPC, BP, ExxonMobil, Petronas, ADNOC, Mitro International, Buried Hill, NAPECO, Dragon Oil, ENI, Lukoil; international oil and gas organizations such as the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Global Gas Center, Gas Exporting Countries Forum, Society of Petroleum Engineers, Energy Charter Secretariat.
