Turkmenistan's total natural gas supply to China has reached 450 billion cubic meters, providing a powerful impetus to the economic and social development of both countries, said Chen Huailong, President of CNPC for Central Asia and Russia, at the 30th International Conference "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan 2025" (OGT 2025), according to the Turkmenistan International Information Center.
Chen Huailong noted that as the global energy system moves toward a clean and low-carbon future, natural gas plays an indispensable pivotal role.
With its abundant reserves, Turkmenistan has significant advantages in meeting growing global energy demand and helping countries achieve their low-carbon development goals by actively expanding and diversifying export routes, the businessman said.
Looking back on the past 19 years of energy cooperation, a CNPC representative stated that China and Turkmenistan have achieved fruitful results, particularly in the gas sector. Since the signing of key agreements in 2007, cooperation has expanded in many areas—from field development (the Bagtyyarlyk block) and trade to engineering.
Chen Huailong highlighted the recent agreements reached by Chinese President Xi Jinping and Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, which confirm the strategic nature of the bilateral partnership.
He stated that, going forward, CNPC has reaffirmed its commitment to developing a comprehensive strategic partnership and intends to deepen energy cooperation with the State Concern “Turkmengas” across the entire gas supply chain. The company will continue to strengthen and expand this collaboration, ensuring stable production, increased gas recovery, and safe pipeline operation. Furthermore, the businessman noted, CNPC will accelerate the transformation of green energy by promoting joint research and development in renewable energy, hydrogen energy, and methane emission reduction. This is intended to help Turkmenistan optimize its energy mix and achieve its carbon emission reduction goals.
Cooperation will also be deepened in infrastructure digitalization (smart energy grids, digital pipelines) and strengthening Turkmenistan's human resources base through various training mechanisms.
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". Much of the credit for this goes to the drillers of the “Nebitgazburawlayysh” Trust, who have drilled 57 thousand 246 meters of production wells and 16 thousand 51 meters of exploratory wells since the beginning of the year.
