During a working visit to the Balkan region on November 2, Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov attended the groundbreaking ceremony for a new urea production complex with a capacity of 1.155 million tons per year, TDH reports.
The new urea production complex, the foundation of which is being laid today in the Turkmenbashi etrap of the Balkan region, is one of the major investment projects, the head of state emphasized, noting that three urea production plants are currently operating in the country: Tejenkarbamid, Marykarbamid, and Garabogazkarbamid.
The president noted that the new complex will comply with international environmental standards and will be built by a consortium of Mitsubishi Corporation (Japan) and Gap Inşaat (Turkey). It will utilize advanced technologies from leading European and Asian companies.
The complex is designed to produce 2,000 tons daily, or 660,000 tons of ammonia per year, which will be used as a feedstock in urea production. Overall, the plant will produce 1,155,000 tons of urea fertilizers annually. Its products will also be exported, the head of state continued.
Importantly, the modern facility will create over 1,000 new jobs, and most of the specialists involved have been trained at universities worldwide. They will be provided with all the necessary conditions.
Overall, the new urea production complex will make a significant contribution to the further development of the domestic chemical industry. This will provide a powerful impetus to rapid economic progress, opening up vast opportunities for further improving the social and living conditions of the country's population, the President emphasized.
The ammonia production technology will be supplied by the Danish company Topsoe, the urea synthesis by the Italian company Saipem, and the main urea production will be provided by the German company Thyssenkrupp. Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. will implement CO₂ recovery technology that minimizes environmental impacts and meets global green industry standards.
On the same day, Serdar Berdimuhamedov took part in the groundbreaking ceremony for the Turkmenbashi–Garabogaz section of the Turkmenbashi–Garabogaz–Kazakhstan border highway. The head of state also participated in the opening of a water treatment facility with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters per day in Esenguly Etrap and a road bridge across Garabogaz Bay.

«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.
