With the successful implementation of drilling production wells and constructing a gas preparation facility with a capacity of 10 billion cubic meters of commercial gas per year under the fourth phase of the Galkynysh gas field development, 1,041 new jobs will be created. This was noted by the National Leader of the Turkmen people and Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, in his speech at the ceremony held on April 17 in the Yoloten district of Mary province to launch these works.

Warmly greeting the participants, the Hero-Arkadag stated that in the modern era, every day in Turkmenistan is marked by glorious events, and today marks the launch of another large-scale undertaking vital for the further development of the country&#39;s gas industry &mdash; the fourth phase of the industrial development of the Galkynysh gas field.

As the National Leader noted, the commissioning of the Turkmenistan-China international gas pipeline in 2009 was one of the historical events that further strengthened mutually beneficial cooperation. For nearly 17 years, the Turkmen &quot;blue fuel&quot; exported through this pipeline has made a significant contribution to the development of the friendly country&#39;s economy.

The industrial development of the Galkynysh gas field, one of the largest in the world, is of great importance for the successful implementation of the Turkmen state&#39;s energy strategy and for strengthening the raw material base destined for export. Located in the south of Mary province, this gas field became one of the greatest discoveries by Turkmen geologists during the years of Independence.

&quot;We began the comprehensive development of the Galkynysh gas field in December 2009. In 2013, with the participation of the Honorable President of the People&#39;s Republic of China, Mr. Xi Jinping, we ceremoniously opened and commissioned a complex of plants for the preparation of commercial gas at the Galkynysh field. Today, as part of the fourth phase of its development, we are launching the construction of a facility to prepare 10 billion cubic meters of commercial gas per year and wells intended for the extraction of the same volume of gas. These works will be carried out by the China National Petroleum Corporation, acting as the general contractor by order of the State Concern &#39;T&uuml;rkmengaz&#39;,&quot; said the Hero-Arkadag.

It was noted that during the implementation of this historic project, construction will include gas wells, gas collection, treatment, and processing facilities, gas pipelines, external supply networks, and residential and public buildings. The new facilities will allow for a further increase in the volume of &quot;blue fuel&quot; sent abroad. This will create favorable conditions for the further development of our country and for enhancing the living conditions of our people. The Honorable Arkadag emphasized that systematic support for the activities of our foreign partners in the country and work to further develop cooperation will continue in the future.

&quot;The large-scale joint projects we are implementing with China are clear evidence that both states look to the future with confidence. These efforts are aimed at long-term, close cooperation. In this regard, I would like to emphasize the vast opportunities for the further development of partnership between the two countries. The effective use of these opportunities serves the interests not only of the two states but also perfectly aligns with the development goals of the entire Central Asian region. Therefore, our country views China as its strategic partner, including its key partner in the oil and gas sector,&quot; said the Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty of Turkmenistan.

Implementation of a new project at the Galkynysh gas field will create 1,041 jobs

During the international conference &quot;Turkmenistan &ndash; People&#39;s Republic of China: 20 Years of Strategic Cooperation in the Gas Industry&quot; held in Ashgabat, Dai Houliang, Chairman of the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), made an important statement. According to him, the new project for the development of the fourth phase of the Galkynysh field will become a model of modern technologies and environmentally friendly production.

The Chinese executive emphasized the strategic importance of deepening relations with Turkmenistan in the energy sector against the backdrop of changes in the global energy market and international instability. In accordance with the agreements of the Leaders of the two countries, CNPC aims to utilize all its capabilities to bring cooperation to a new level and contribute to mutual interests.

High international standards and innovative management methods will be followed in the development of the fourth phase of the Galkynysh field. Within the framework of the project, it is planned not only to extract gas but also to expand cooperation in areas such as new energy sources, oil refining, and petrochemistry. Additionally, the parties will exchange experience in the implementation of &quot;green&quot; technologies.

The use of digital system capabilities has been identified as one of the main directions for the development of the gas industry. It is planned to increase the efficiency of operations by introducing artificial intelligence and Big Data technologies into the production chain. This, in turn, will facilitate the modernization of the Turkmen-Chinese energy partnership.

This forum held in the capital became another testament to the strengthening of long-standing friendly relations and long-term energy cooperation between Turkmenistan and China. The parties confirmed that joint projects will be at the highest level not only from an economic but also from a technological standpoint.

Head of CNPC announced new heights of Turkmen-Chinese energy relations

An international scientific-practical conference dedicated to the 20th anniversary of strategic cooperation in the gas sector between Turkmenistan and the People&#39;s Republic of China was held in our capital, Ashgabat. During the forum, the current state and future prospects of relations between the two countries in the energy sphere were discussed.

Speaking at the conference, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers Guvanch Agajanov stated that the launch of the fourth stage of development at the giant &quot;Galkynysh&quot; gas field serves as evidence that cooperation is reaching a new level. In his speech, he emphasized that the foundations of initiatives in this direction were laid by the National Leader of the Turkmen people and are currently being successfully continued by Head of State Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

According to the Vice-Premier, the General Agreement previously reached between the two countries established a solid legal and political foundation for cooperation. The projects currently being implemented and the Turkmenistan-China gas pipeline are characterized as the modern economic continuation of the ancient Great Silk Road.

It was noted that as a result of the joint efforts of the &quot;T&uuml;rkmengaz&quot; State Concern and the Chinese &quot;CNPC&quot; corporation, the development of the next stage of the &quot;Galkynysh&quot; field will further strengthen the economic relations of the two states. This project will serve as a reliable basis for developing mutually beneficial cooperation not only in the energy sector but also in entirely new directions.
