Meeting of the President of Turkmenistan with the Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China: a new impetus to bilateral ciooperation

Gas-lift oil production continues to be actively implemented at the Goturdepe oil and gas field in the western region of Turkmenistan, contributing to improved production and efficient use of natural resources, according to the Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper.

Goturdepe, one of the oldest fields in the country, has been in development since the 1960s. Previously, production was primarily carried out using a flowing method, but in recent years, priority has been given to modern technologies, including gas-lift.

A modern gas compressor station has been commissioned at the field as part of its modernization. This has enabled more than 400 wells to be converted to gas-lift production. This method utilizes associated gas, which, after purification and compression, is injected into the wells, lifting oil to the surface.

This technology allows for a consistent increase in daily well flow rates. The Goturdepe oil and gas production department of the Nebitgazchykarysh trust, part of the State Concern Turkmennebit, operates the facilities.

The gas compressor station, with a capacity of up to 12 million cubic meters of gas per day, is operating normally and is equipped with automated control systems.

Experts note that further infrastructure development and drilling of new wells in the western region of the country will strengthen Turkmenistan&#39;s energy potential and expand its export opportunities.

Gas-lift oil production is being effectively implemented at the Goturdepe field

Turkmenistan and the EU see prospects for cooperation in the energy sector

Following the forward-looking scientific and technical policy of the Hero-Arkadag, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, aimed at introducing advanced modern technologies into production, during the Renaissance of a new epoch of a powerful state under the leadership of the esteemed President, conditions have been created for the wide implementation of the latest achievements of scientific and technological progress and more advanced technologies across all sectors of the national economy within the framework of the dynamic development of science, education, and the socio-economic sphere.

The development of the oil and gas sector of Turkmenistan, a country rich in energy resources, the diversified supply of natural gas to global markets, as well as the processing of oil and gas resources and the production of high-quality goods that meet international standards, are key directions of the energy strategy of the independent state. The export potential of the country&rsquo;s oil and gas complex is increasing annually. Mutually beneficial relations with foreign partners are being strengthened and expanded.

Today, Turkmenistan is successfully developing effective ties with many countries around the world, major foreign companies possessing advanced technologies, financial institutions, and international organizations. The economic efficiency, social significance, and environmental safety of joint projects constitute the basic principles of this cooperation. A vivid example of this is the long-standing positive experience of cooperation between Turkmenistan and China in the fuel and energy sector, as well as large-scale projects aimed at expanding routes for the supply of Turkmen &ldquo;blue fuel&rdquo; to global markets and strengthening the export capacity of the gas industry. The country attaches great importance to deeper and more comprehensive processing of natural gas.

Turkmenistan has strengthened its reputation as an energy supplier in the global energy market and is qualitatively transforming its capabilities in this field through the diversification of the commodity structure of energy exports and the active development of new forms of international energy cooperation.

Alongside exports, an important task of the fuel and energy complex is to meet the growing domestic demand for energy resources. This is ensured through the accelerated development of key sectors of the national economy, including oil and gas, chemical, electric power, construction industries, and other sectors.

Thanks to the initiatives of the Hero-Arkadag and the efforts of Arkadagly Hero Serdar, the oil and gas industry of our country is developing dynamically. In particular, the Turkmenbashy Complex of Oil Refineries, located on the shores of the Caspian Sea, is experiencing a period of modern advancement.

The construction of new plants within the complex, along with the fundamental modernization and re-equipment of existing ones, has made it possible to produce essential products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and lubricating oils, while simultaneously launching production lines for polyethylene, polypropylene, and the processing of iodine solutions. As a major industrial facility, the refinery complex stands as a symbol of our country&#39;s economic power and technological independence.

Based on the tasks set by the Head of State, production here has been diversified, and environmentally friendly technologies have been implemented. This has enabled the complex to evolve into a modern petrochemical cluster that meets international standards.
