Employees of the Gundogargazakdyrysh Department of the Turkmengasakdyrysh Association continue to ensure uninterrupted natural gas transportation through high-pressure main gas pipelines, which total more than 3,900 kilometers in length, in 2026. Their efficient operation ensures a reliable gas supply to residents and businesses in the Mary and Lebap velayats.
The department's specialists regularly monitor the operation of 93 gas distribution stations and 14 regulating units, ensuring compliance with technological requirements and the proper supply of natural gas. Last year, the network delivered more than 42 billion cubic meters of gas to both domestic and foreign consumers.
Modern metering, regulating, and purification units have been installed at gas distribution stations belonging to Services No. 1 and No. 2. To prevent interruptions in fuel supply, preventive maintenance and major repairs are regularly conducted on main gas pipelines.
In particular, in 2025, worn pipes were replaced with new ones on the Sakar-Atamyrat and Zerger-Sakar main gas pipelines, and welding and other restoration work were carried out. Significant repairs were also carried out at control facilities, including the Garagum and Shatlyk gas compressor stations, which ensure gas exports to foreign markets.
On the first section of the Shatlyk-Garagum gas pipeline, major repairs have been completed on a 13.7-kilometer section. New pipes have already been installed along most of the line, and work is ongoing to fully connect it to the existing pipeline.
Specialists at the Dovrebap station in the village of Dovletli Zaman in the Oguzkhan etrap make a special contribution to providing gas to consumers. Operators monitor the fuel supply around the clock, ensuring the uninterrupted operation of small and medium-sized businesses in the region.
As Bayramgeldi Atayev, head of the Gundogargazakdyrysh department, noted, the gas industry's efforts are aimed at fulfilling the President's objectives of increasing production and ensuring uninterrupted supply of natural gas to both domestic and foreign consumers.

“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".
