«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".
