Turkmenistan Foreign Minister Rashid Meredov met with the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Turkmenistan, Ji Shuming, according to the Turkmen Foreign Ministry's website.
"During the meeting, the parties discussed a wide range of issues related to the further development of cooperation between Turkmenistan and the People's Republic of China," the statement reads.
Particular attention was paid to the recent friendly visit of the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, to China, during which he held a constructive and friendly meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Foreign Ministry noted.
In particular, during the talks, the diplomats exchanged views on the practical implementation of the agreements reached during that visit.
As a reminder, during a March 18 meeting between Hero-Arkadag and Chinese President Xi Jinping in China, special attention was paid to prospects for cooperation in the fuel and energy sector, particularly the development of the Galkynysh gas field. The parties also discussed opportunities for cooperation in transportation and logistics, equipment supplies, green energy, and other areas.
Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov presented Xi Jinping with an invitation from President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to visit Turkmenistan.
Late last week, President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov signed a decree authorizing the Turkmengas State Concern to enter into a contract with CNPC Amudarya Petroleum Company Ltd. (PRC) for the turnkey design and construction of a facility for processing 10 billion cubic meters of marketable gas per year and production wells for processing the same volume of marketable gas as part of the development of Phase 4 of the Galkynysh gas field.
Thus, the agreements reached at the highest level between the leaders of Turkmenistan and China are being fleshed out with concrete content and the implementation of new major projects in the oil and gas sector.
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.
