A key panel discussion on "Raw Materials as the Foundation of the Energy Transition: New Horizons for Investment" was held during the first session of the International Conference "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan-2025" (OGT-2025).
Session participants noted the continued key role of hydrocarbons and petrochemical raw materials in the global energy transition.
As emphasized in his speech by Guvanch Agajanov, Chairman of the State Concern “Turkmennebit”, Turkmenistan, with hydrocarbon reserves exceeding 71 billion tons of oil equivalent, maintains its status as a key supplier of strategic raw materials.
Particular attention was paid to successes in international cooperation. In particular, the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for geological exploration on Blocks 11, 12, 16, 21, and 23 in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea between Turkmennebit State Concern and PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd, which took place during the TEIF 2025 forum in Kuala Lumpur, was mentioned.
The discussion presented the latest geological data, promising investment projects, and Turkmenistan's strategy for reducing methane emissions, including innovations in its utilization as fuel and feedstock, as well as plans for infrastructure expansion.
The conference will continue tomorrow.
Maxim Bortnikov – Managing Director at the Center for the Implementation of the Principles of Sustainable Development of Gazprombank:
“The theme of the International Conference held in Ashgabat is rather topical, as evidenced by the composition of its participants, including representatives of government agencies, large international organizations, banks, big gas companies, scientists, leading specialists and experts in the oil and gas sphere.
«Dashoguzgazupjunchilik» ensures the efficient use of «blue fuel»
The gas workers of the «Dashoguzgazupjunchilik» department continue to provide reliable and uninterrupted gas supply to consumers in the northern region of our country. Despite the period of maximum loads, qualified specialists ensure the stable functioning of the gas distribution system of the velayat in the heating season.
Another well has been put into operation
An industrial flow of natural gas was obtained from a well drilled by the team of the Lebapnebitgazgözleg Expedition of the Türkmengeologiýa State Corporation at Tachmuradov site. This will be a worthy gift from the united team of the Expedition for the forthcoming large-scale holiday – the 33rd anniversary of Turkmenistan’s independence.
The new hydraulic device is distinguished by its efficiency
The Department of Geology and Geochemistry of Yagshigeldi Kakayev International University of Oil and Gas has developed an “Innovative hydraulic device for displacing air from the cavities of drill pipes”.
Since the beginning of 2025, the “Nebitgazchykarysh” Trust of the State Concern “Turkmennebit” has produced over 1.2 million tons of oil
Since the beginning of 2025, the “Nebitgazchykarysh” Trust of the State Concern “Turkmennebit” has produced 1 million 278 thousand 817 tons of "black gold".
