The Organizing Committee of the 30th anniversary International Conference and Exhibition &quot;Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan &ndash; 2025&quot; (OGT 2025), one of the country&rsquo;s major global energy events, proudly announces Malaysia&rsquo;s leading energy company, PETRONAS, as the &ldquo;Brilliant&rdquo; sponsor of this significant event. This strategic partnership highlights PETRONAS&#39; confidence in Turkmenistan&rsquo;s role as a key energy hub and reflects the company&rsquo;s strong commitment to global energy security, sustainable development, and innovation.

Founded in 1974, PETRONAS is authorized to manage Malaysia&rsquo;s oil and gas resources and has since grown into a large international corporation operating in over 100 countries worldwide. Its integrated portfolio includes exploration and production of hydrocarbons, oil refining, petrochemicals, marketing and trading, as well as the development and implementation of innovative energy solutions.

As part of its strategy to achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 (NZCE 2050), PETRONAS is actively advancing key projects in carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen energy, renewable energy sources, and other low-carbon technologies.

PETRONAS began its cooperation with Turkmenistan in 1996, when it became one of the first international investors in the country&rsquo;s oil and gas sector. Since then, the company has successfully operated offshore, becoming the first operator to invest in Turkmenistan&rsquo;s hydrocarbon-rich Caspian fields. This partnership underscores not only strong economic ties but also mutual political trust between the two countries. In May 2025, PETRONAS reaffirmed its long-term commitment by signing a new 25-year Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) for Block I, extending its operations in Turkmenistan until 2050.

As the &ldquo;Brilliant&rdquo; sponsor of OGT 2025, PETRONAS not only offers financial and organizational support but also brings its strategic vision, global leadership, and expertise in advancing the global energy transition toward a low-carbon and sustainable future.

The main theme of the forum &mdash; &quot;Energy. Innovation. Development.&quot; &mdash; aligns fully with PETRONAS&rsquo; priorities in implementing cutting-edge technological solutions, ensuring sustainable and efficient growth in the energy sector, and promoting responsible management of energy resources.

The partnership between PETRONAS and OGT 2025 contributes to strengthening bilateral cooperation, supporting the development of a reliable and sustainable energy system in Turkmenistan, and expanding connections with the global energy community. It also reflects the shared commitment to innovation, sustainable progress, and international collaboration as key pillars for the future of the energy sector.

To date, more than 1,400 delegates from over 70 countries have already registered to attend the conference, and over 100 companies are preparing to showcase their technologies and innovative solutions at OGT EXPO &mdash; Turkmenistan&rsquo;s largest and most significant energy exhibition.

Conference Held in Beijing to Mark the 30th Anniversary of Turkmenistan's Neutrality

On October 3, 2025, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov held a Cabinet of Ministers meeting via digital communication. During the session, the results of Turkmenistan&#39;s socio-economic development for January&ndash;September of this year were discussed, including progress in the oil and gas sector.

The reporting period revealed significant achievements in the country&rsquo;s energy sector. Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers B. Amanov presented a detailed report on the activities of the state concern &quot;Turkmennebit&quot; and oil refining enterprises. It was noted that in the first nine months of the year, &quot;Turkmennebit&quot; fulfilled its oil production plan by 109.7%. For oil refineries, the figure reached 109.4%. Gasoline production met 108.8% of the plan, diesel fuel &ndash; 101%, lubricants &ndash; 100%, and the production of natural and associated gas &ndash; 103.1%.

Steady growth was also recorded in the production of high-quality products such as polypropylene and liquefied gas, and in the export of natural gas abroad. These figures indicate the effective use of production capacities in the oil and gas sector, modernization of its technological base, and the strengthening of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s position in the international energy market.

After hearing the report, the President emphasized the need to further enhance the efficiency of production capacities, integrate new technologies, and broadly utilize digital systems. He outlined clear tasks for discovering new hydrocarbon reserves using modern technologies and for developing new methods of processing oil and natural gas.

Additionally, specific instructions were given to expand export routes of the gas industry and develop cooperation with foreign partners. These directives aim to ensure the continued stable development of the energy sector, which is a key pillar of Turkmenistan&#39;s economic growth.

As is well known, extensive geological exploration is currently underway in the country, new fields are being developed, and effective cooperation with international companies is being established. Ongoing work at major gas fields such as &ldquo;Galkynysh,&rdquo; &ldquo;Bagtyyarlyk,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Yashlar&rdquo; contributes to the growth of gas exports and further enhances Turkmenistan&rsquo;s reputation in the global energy market.

The economic policy pursued under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov is aimed at modernizing the energy system, transitioning to environmentally friendly production methods, and accessing new markets. Turkmenistan has established itself as a reliable energy partner globally and contributes not only to energy exports but also to strengthening international energy security.

Thus, the achievements of the first nine months of this year clearly demonstrate the dynamic growth of the oil and gas industry, forming a solid foundation for Turkmenistan&#39;s economic development and international cooperation. Guided by the foresighted policy of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, Turkmenistan will continue to strengthen its role in the global energy market, creating broad opportunities for the well-being of its people and prosperity of the state.

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.
