Thanks to the far-sighted and ambitious policies of our esteemed President, our country has successfully accomplished such important tasks as economic reforms, the development of new areas of international cooperation, and the construction and commissioning of new plants, complexes, gas pipelines, and compressor stations.

As a result of these reforms, Turkmenistan has become a powerful energy power, not only supplying the domestic market but also making large-scale and stable deliveries to global markets. International cooperation has played a significant role in the development of Turkmenistan&#39;s oil and gas industry. It has not only brought economic benefits but also enabled the expansion of the exchange of new technologies, international experience, and knowledge.

One important aspect of international cooperation is the training of specialists and knowledge sharing. Higher education institutions and specialized training centers in Turkmenistan offer training with the participation of foreign faculty, and students and engineers undergo internships abroad. This allows oil and gas industry specialists to acquire international knowledge and skills.

Thanks to the consistently implemented energy policy under the leadership of our esteemed President, the fuel and energy sector is developing comprehensively. Our country possesses abundant oil and gas reserves and has accumulated extensive experience in drilling wells and developing fields, enhancing oil recovery, and processing the resulting products. As we embark on a new era of sovereignty, new opportunities are being created for the export of Turkmen natural gas in various destinations. Consequently, the capacity of hydrocarbon processing plants is being expanded.

These enterprises are being modernized using innovative technologies and are fully equipped with technical and technological equipment. The following oil and gas fields are currently located in the regions: Galkynysh, Dovletabad, Malay, 10 Years of Independence, Bagadzha, Gazlydepe, Korpedzhe, Nebitlije, Akpatlavuk, and Chekishler. In the future, to further increase production in this sector, plans are underway to develop new fields, reconstruct existing fields, and identify promising oil and gas deposits.

In our country, the Turkmennebit State Concern is carrying out important work in the production and use of oil. This &quot;black gold,&quot; one of our national treasures, is produced at such oil-rich fields as Uzynada, Barsagelmez, Northern Goturdepe, Gamyshlydzha, Keymir, and Altyguy. Furthermore, in addition to onshore production, existing fields in the Turkmen section of the Caspian Sea are being effectively developed. A key role in the energy sector is played by seabed hydrocarbon exploration and the development of coastal facilities, the use of renewable energy sources, improved environmental safety, and the widespread adoption of innovative technologies.

The benefits of the transition to clean energy are considered one of the key objectives of international energy cooperation for environmental protection and security. It is worth noting that Turkmenistan places particular emphasis on this area. The state programs adopted in our country and the work being carried out in this area serve as a clear example of this.

The &quot;smart well&quot; technology represents a new concept in the oil and gas industry. Broadly speaking, a &quot;smart well&quot; is a system equipped with sensor or control systems that allow for the monitoring of operational parameters. The implementation of such systems enhances the economic efficiency of extraction, ensures operational safety, and positively impacts the oil recovery factor.

Today, geological exploration, drilling, and seismic data analysis based on artificial intelligence &mdash; an intelligent system &mdash; are helping oil companies carry out exploration operations more efficiently, saving both time and money.

Thus, smart wells mark the beginning of a new era in the oil and gas sector.

In recent years, interest in &quot;green&quot; energy&mdash;renewable sources such as solar and wind&mdash;has been growing worldwide, including in Turkmenistan. These sources are not only naturally inexhaustible but also minimize environmental harm.

Under Turkmenistan&rsquo;s state policy in this area, a number of projects are being implemented to utilize alternative energy sources. The 2021 Law &ldquo;On Renewable Energy Sources&rdquo; marked a significant step in this direction. A vivid example is the construction of a 10-megawatt solar and wind power plant in the Gyzylarbat district of Balkan province.

Additionally, the construction of modern combined-cycle gas and steam power plants enhances energy efficiency and conserves natural resources. The newly installed gas turbines at the Turkmenbashi Complex of Oil Refineries meet current environmental standards.

Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy strategy is closely tied to international cooperation. National Leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, during foreign visits, actively promotes collaboration in green and hydrogen energy, as well as environmental protection. Opportunities for such cooperation have been discussed with France, among others.

Overall, Turkmenistan places great importance on developing sustainable and environmentally friendly energy. These projects contribute not only to economic growth but also to environmental protection.
