Guided by the specific tasks set by the esteemed President to develop the nation&rsquo;s oil and gas industry, local workers of the Nebitdag Drilling Operations Directorate of the Trust under the State Concern &quot;Turkmennebit&quot; have presented a worthy labor gift to the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s permanent Neutrality.

Throughout this landmark year, drillers have successfully completed the drilling of a total of nine productive wells. During this period, exploration specialists reached an aggregate drilling depth of 24,814 meters.

Recently, a team led by Dovletmyrat Gulamsoyunov, Head of the Drilling Department, successfully completed the drilling of Well No. 965 at the Nebitdag field. The design depth of this well&mdash;2,400 meters&mdash;yielded a commercial inflow of &ldquo;black gold&rdquo; from a reservoir at a depth of 2,235 meters. Following technical operations, the new oil well was brought into operation by oil workers of the Gumdagnebit Oil and Gas Production Enterprise. The well is currently producing 50 tons of crude oil per day.

In addition, a drilling team headed by Ezigeldi Hangeldiyev worked diligently to reach the productive reservoir of Well No. 1847 at the Goturdepe field. As a result, the well is now producing 15 tons of crude oil per day. This stands as a worthy labor contribution by the drillers to the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s permanent Neutrality.

The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Hero Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, delivered a speech at the International Forum in Ashgabat dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s permanent Neutrality.

In his address, Hero Arkadag emphasized the need for constructive mobilization of potential, political maturity, will, and principled commitment on the part of the entire international community. The National Leader of the Turkmen people noted that all states, regardless of their political systems, size, or other factors, today bear responsibility for the future of our planet.

According to Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, the key mechanism for such unity is the potential of the United Nations.

Hero Arkadag stated that the capabilities of the UN must be utilized as the only international organization possessing universal legitimacy and a mandate. Cooperation on the platform of Peace and Trust presupposes the existence of recognized political and legal foundations, as well as clear and well-defined principles enshrined in the UN Charter&mdash;equality, mutual respect, and non-interference in sovereign affairs.

The National Leader of the Turkmen people stressed that adherence to these principles is the guarantee of preserving peace and predictability and provides an opportunity to rebuild the foundations of civilized communication with one another.

In addition, Hero Arkadag stated that people&rsquo;s diplomacy should become an important support for official diplomacy.

The Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan emphasized that at present, in promoting the concept of Peace and Trust, alongside traditional diplomacy, it is necessary to engage inter-parliamentary channels of communication, as well as women&rsquo;s and youth diplomacy.

&ldquo;Our country is doing much in this regard. Over the past few years alone, Turkmenistan has hosted a number of major events of this orientation, including representative international and regional forums. At the same time, we proceed from the understanding that people&rsquo;s diplomacy can and should become an important support for official diplomacy, possessing additional levers of influence on political decision-making,&rdquo; said the National Leader of the Turkmen people.

Hero Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov also called on the distinguished audience of the forum to use the media exclusively for constructive purposes.

&ldquo;Information dialogue also plays a crucial role in establishing respectful and constructive interstate relations. We view it as an important component of our Peace and Trust initiative, as well as the global formula put forward by Turkmenistan several years ago: dialogue is a guarantee of peace. Mass media must be used exclusively for constructive purposes,&rdquo; stated the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty.

For these purposes, the National Leader of the Turkmen people highlighted the particular need to establish a reliable barrier against cybercrime and the dissemination of biased materials in the media space.

On this occasion, a conference titled &ldquo;Achievements in the Oil and Gas Sector in the Year of International Peace and Trust&rdquo; was held in the conference hall of the main building of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s oil and gas complex.

The forum, dedicated to the professional holiday celebrated after International Neutrality Day, began with the reading of a congratulatory message from the President of Turkmenistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedow, addressed to the workers of independent and neutral Turkmenistan in the oil, gas, and geological sectors. The message emphasized that, thanks to the diligent and purposeful work of oil workers, gas specialists, and geologists, significant achievements have been reached in the industry, and the ongoing comprehensive efforts contribute to strengthening the country&rsquo;s position among the world&rsquo;s leading states in terms of hydrocarbon resources.

It was also noted that the implementation of major international projects is aimed at ensuring that the nation&rsquo;s hydrocarbon wealth primarily serves the welfare of the people, improves the lives of future generations, and benefits neighboring countries. One of the priority tasks of the state&rsquo;s energy policy is to diversify the sector&rsquo;s export capacities and create multipurpose pipeline systems. These measures are intended to strengthen energy security, support regional well-being, and promote economically stable development. The conference participants listened to the President&rsquo;s congratulatory message with great enthusiasm.

Following this, the floor was given to conference guests and employees of the oil and gas complex. The speakers highlighted that, thanks to the efforts of Hero Arkadag, the Turkmenistan&ndash;China international gas pipeline was inaugurated on December 14, 2009, and that this historic day holds deep significance as the Day of Oil, Gas, and Geology Workers. They also noted significant achievements in the sector, including the discovery of new oil and gas fields across the country, the Turkmenistan&ndash;China and East&ndash;West pipelines, and the construction of the Turkmenistan&ndash;Afghanistan&ndash;Pakistan&ndash;India international gas pipeline. In the International Year of Peace and Trust, it was emphasized that the blessing of esteemed President Serdar Berdimuhamedow for the construction of the Serhetabat&ndash;Herat pipeline, a crucial part of this major project, contributes to the long-term development of the countries involved and ensures sustainable regional growth.

The speeches also highlighted that, in accordance with national programs, comprehensive measures are being implemented to increase production volumes in the oil and gas sector. Regular extraction from hydrocarbon wells and efficient development of fields demonstrate that work is progressing at a high pace.

On the second day of the OGT 2024 international conference, Deputy Chairman of Turkmengaz Group Murad Archayev announced the introduction of mandatory measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is an important step in the fight against climate change. As part of this initiative, the Government of the country has developed recommendations for the&nbsp;

Turkmengaz company, which is actively looking for international partners through tenders.

These international tenders are designed to attract expertise and technologies that will help effectively control and reduce emissions. An important part of this work is cooperation with agencies involved in monitoring and recording methane emissions, which will provide accurate data on the current state of affairs and identify areas for further improvements.

The actions being taken are aimed at achieving concrete results in the field of ecology, and Turkmenistan expects to achieve significant success by 2030.&nbsp;

These measures will not only help the country fulfill its international obligations, but also create conditions for sustainable economic development that takes into account environmental aspects.

Thus, Turkmenistan demonstrates a serious approach to the problem of climate change and a willingness to implement the necessary measures to improve the environmental situation in the country.
