This generous gift brought immense joy and inspiration to all workers. The new equipment will significantly contribute to the growth of production performance in the future.

The Cementing Department is a specialized production unit operating on a self-supporting basis. Its activities are continuous and directly related to oil and gas production. As a &quot;contractor,&quot; the department carries out work at oil and gas wells under the management of clients, within the framework of their production plans, using cementing units.

At the department&#39;s production sites, the following works are carried out: cementing of conductor, surface, intermediate, and production casing strings; installation of cement bridges and oil baths during drilling and well repair; pressure testing of casing strings for tightness; formation testing and well stimulation using compressors; cement loading and transportation; laboratory analysis to verify cement slurry density; and other operations.

All necessary conditions and opportunities for the effective work of oil workers have been created in the country. On behalf of all our valiant oil workers, we express our sincere gratitude to the National Leader of the Turkmen people and the Esteemed President.

We wish the Hero Arkadag and the Arkadagly Hero Serdar robust health, long life, and great success in their endeavors for the benefit of the people and the Homeland!
