At the CIET-2025 International Conference in Avaza, a statement was made confirming Turkmenistan's technological breakthrough in low-carbon energy, the International university of Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan reported on November 4.
Bayrammyrat Atamanov, Rector of the Yagshygeldi Kakayev International Oil and Gas University (IOGU), announced a significant achievement: the establishment of a Hydrogen Energy Center and the development of a unique plasma-chemical facility.
This scientific breakthrough is a direct result of the implementation of the "Roadmap for the Development of International Cooperation in Hydrogen Energy" approved by the President of Turkmenistan.
A key achievement of IOGU scientists was the creation of the Hydrogen Energy Center. The new structure is focused on research and development in the field of alternative energy. The Center has developed the first plasma-chemical facility designed to convert natural gas into hydrogen and carbon black. The development of this facility has dual strategic significance for Turkmenistan. It enables the production of hydrogen fuel—one of the cleanest energy sources—from natural gas, while significantly reducing emissions. This strengthens our country's position in the development of low-carbon technologies.
Along with the laboratory electrolysis facility, this project makes the university a leader in training highly qualified personnel capable of working with advanced technologies in the new era of hydrogen energy.
Thus, IOGU is demonstrating an active role in diversifying the country's energy potential, transforming natural resources into high-tech products.
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.
