On October 21, Valerie Ducrot, Executive Director of the Global Gas Centre (GGC), delivered an address in Ashgabat at the OGT 2026 conference ("Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan"). According to the speaker, energy security is defined not by the sheer volume of energy in the world, but by whether it can reach consumers reliably, affordably, and sustainably: "A country is powered not by resources, but by connections."Speaking about the resource base, she cited estimates of Turkmenistan's proven gas reserves—ranging approximately from 11 to over 13 trillion cubic meters. By any authoritative assessment, the country ranks among the world's top five leaders, and the Galkynysh field is one of the largest globally. Exports to China alone exceed 30 billion cubic meters per year, making Turkmenistan one of the world's leading suppliers of pipeline gas. The speaker noted that such reserves constitute a strategic asset for the entire region, positioning Turkmenistan as a reliable long-term supplier for decades to come.She illustrated demand in neighboring countries as follows: Pakistan is home to around 240 million people, while India has over 1.4 billion. India aims to increase the share of gas in its energy mix from the current ~6% to 15% by 2030. Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, and the countries of Central Asia are modernizing their economies and expanding their power and industrial sectors. Gas, according to her, serves as fuel for power generation, feedstock for fertilizers and petrochemicals, a cleaner alternative to coal, and a flexible partner for renewable energy.Among infrastructure assets, the speaker highlighted the Central Asia–China gas pipeline, which has a design capacity of approximately 55 billion cubic meters per year passing through Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan: it transformed a landlocked nation into a supplier to the world's largest gas importer. The East–West gas pipeline linked production regions with export corridors, while a planned additional line to China will add another 30 billion cubic meters of capacity. As the GGC Executive Director noted, an integrated network enhances resilience, and cross-border infrastructure strengthens trust.She described reliance on a single route, market, or partner as a vulnerability. According to her, Turkmenistan is actively developing projects beyond its eastern route. The "Central Asia Gas Ring" project could establish an additional regional route for Turkmen gas to Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and—provided connections are made—to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, while maintaining existing export commitments. The speaker recalled that at the recent Consultative Meeting of the Heads of State of Central Asia and Azerbaijan, the President of Turkmenistan highlighted opportunities for cooperation in pipeline infrastructure and power supply, emphasizing the strengthening of energy ties to ensure energy security amid global market volatility. She called the Gas Ring "an ideal example of turning words into action."Regarding investment, the speaker emphasized the need for predictable regulation, bankable projects, and shared commitments from governments and companies. According to her, Turkmenistan is ready to build its own pipeline segments and is increasingly open to international partners. She separately stressed the necessity of reducing methane emissions across the entire gas value chain, which enhances the competitiveness of natural gas.The Executive Director of the Global Gas Centre outlined three key priorities:<ol><li>Build physical connections — expand and modernize gas networks and cross-border interconnectors, and advance flagship projects;</li><li>Enable investments — establish stable rules, transparent cooperation, and long-term commitments;</li><li>Diversify and connect — develop multiple export routes and integrated regional systems adhering to the highest environmental and efficiency standards.</li></ol>According to the speaker, the Global Gas Centre, operating as a neutral platform, stands ready to support these efforts: "Let us use this forum not only to discuss connectivity, but to advance it."
