The majority of the value of these products comes from the enterprises in the oil and gas sector in our region. Compared to the previous year, there has been an increase in the production volume at large and medium-sized industrial enterprises in the chemical industry, flour and feed production, and light industry.

From January to December 2024, the volume of industrial products sent to consumers (including the remaining production at the start of the year) amounted to 6.386 million manats. Of this, 58.8% was exported abroad.

The energy sector plays an important role in accelerating socio-economic development and ensuring the well-being of the population. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Hero Arkadag and esteemed President, powerful energy facilities have been built in our region in recent years and are now operational. As a result, last year, 4,828 million kilowatt-hours of electricity were produced, marking a 9.3% increase compared to the previous year. The employees of the state-owned &quot;Lebap&quot; and &quot;Watan&quot; power plants have significantly contributed to this success. Thanks to their joint efforts, domestic consumers are supplied with electricity without interruptions, and part of the energy is exported in accordance with intergovernmental agreements.

The Seyd oil refining plant has completed significant work in producing valuable petrochemical products through deep processing of raw materials. In the large industrial enterprise, 472,300 tons of raw materials were processed last year, producing 244,000 tons of gasoline, 117,900 tons of diesel fuel, and 21,500 tons of road bitumen.

In the completed year, high results were achieved in the production of cement (1,118.7 tons), cotton yarn (402.9 million manats), silk fabrics (112,400 square meters), and sewing and knitwear products (812.5 million manats), marking a significant achievement compared to the previous year.

Excellent results were also achieved in the processing of cotton produced by the farmers in our region. Last year, cotton gins produced 108,400 tons of cotton fiber. This fiber is used in textile factories across the country to produce high-quality yarn, part of which is exported.

Workers at the industrial enterprises of the region have made great efforts to produce food products in abundance. During the reporting period, 396.8 tons of flour products, 2,858.8 tons of sweets and confectionery, nearly 35,800 tons of dairy products, 97,423 standard cans of packaged fruits and vegetables, 17,318.8 tons of grains, and 839.4 tons of fish and fish products were produced. This indicates significant growth in the production of these goods compared to the previous year.

High production results have been achieved thanks to the significant contribution of workers from individual industrial enterprises. Last year, large and medium-sized industrial enterprises in the city produced goods worth 4,776.4 million manats, which is the highest indicator in the region. High results were also achieved at industrial enterprises in the K&ouml;ytendag and Khala&ccedil; districts. For example, last year, industrial enterprises in the K&ouml;ytendag district produced goods worth 531.2 million manats, showing a 43.6% increase compared to the previous year.

The successes and high indicators achieved in the past year serve as a strong foundation for further progress and development. In the new year, industrial workers in the region face responsible tasks. They work with enthusiasm, fulfilling the orders of the Head of State and achieving new successes. This is a clear indication that the new year will also be successful and full of achievements.

Oil and Gas Sector

The large-scale investment projects being implemented in Turkmenistan&#39;s oil and gas sector are a result of the energy policy pursued under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov. This policy aims at the comprehensive development and integration of one of the key sectors of the economy into the international energy system. These projects hold not only significant economic value but also play an essential role in ensuring regional and global energy security.

A primary aspect of the national strategy is the efficient utilization of the sector&rsquo;s vast potential, strengthening its position in the global market by meeting the demand for high-quality, competitive, and environmentally friendly products. This includes introducing energy-saving technologies, promoting renewable energy sources, and fostering business partnerships with leading oil and gas companies and reputable financial institutions.

During an expanded meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers held on July 12, 2024, the head of state emphasized the priority tasks facing the fuel and energy complex (FEC). Highlighting the oil and gas sector as a cornerstone of the national economy, the President of Turkmenistan underscored the need to further adopt modern technologies and take comprehensive measures to increase the production capacity of industry enterprises.

Additionally, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov instructed to engage foreign companies in exploring and developing energy resources in the Caspian Sea zone and directed Turkmen geologists to continue exploratory work to identify new promising hydrocarbon deposits. The emphasis was placed on actively incorporating international experience in these processes.

To address global environmental issues and foster broad cooperation with countries, international organizations, and major companies, Turkmenistan has adopted several national programs aligned with its accession to the Paris Agreement. These programs include measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Nationwide initiatives to mitigate the negative impacts of methane emissions into the atmosphere are being implemented, focusing primarily on transitioning to modern, environmentally friendly, and resource-saving technologies.

In recent years, the country has significantly increased its power generation capacity with a series of modern natural gas-powered plants integrated into the national energy distribution system.

Today, the gas industry forms the backbone of Turkmenistan&#39;s FEC, accounting for over half of the country&#39;s industrial production. Intensive work is underway in the sector to discover, explore, and develop new deposits using advanced technologies across all stages of the production process&mdash;from exploration and exploitation to transportation, storage, and refining of hydrocarbons to deliver final products to consumers.

The development of innovative production facilities for hydrocarbon processing, diversification of the FEC&rsquo;s export potential, accelerated industrial development of new deposits, and creation of a multi-vector pipeline system for energy resource supplies are critical for achieving high growth rates in the fuel and energy complex. This also affirms Turkmenistan&rsquo;s status as a leader in the international energy community.

The construction of the Turkmenistan&ndash;Afghanistan&ndash;Pakistan&ndash;India (TAPI) gas pipeline serves as a vivid example of these efforts. The project aims not only to supply Turkmen gas to Asian countries but also to become a pivotal factor in strengthening economic partnerships and promoting peace and stability in the region.

In September 2024, the foundation was laid for significant projects in the Mary region, which aim to bolster regional energy security, enhance the welfare of neighboring nations, and create a sustainable economic environment. These projects include the construction of the Serhetabat&ndash;Herat section, part of the TAPI project, and the establishment of the &quot;Şatlyk-1&quot; gas compressor station.

The ambitious tasks assigned to the FEC, such as identifying and developing new resource-rich deposits, increasing hydrocarbon production and processing volumes, creating diversified routes for delivering Turkmen energy resources to global markets, and utilizing innovations in oil and gas production, are being systematically addressed by the State Concerns &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmennebit&rdquo; and &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmengaz&rdquo; as well as the State Corporation &ldquo;T&uuml;rkmengeologi&yacute;a.&rdquo;

In line with achieving the nationally adapted Sustainable Development Goals, key directions of ongoing work include strengthening partnerships in energy resource processing, exchanging advanced technologies under new environmental standards, and attracting investors to supply advanced specialized equipment. The implementation of environmentally safe production processes and compliance with ecological requirements based on the careful treatment of ecosystems are fundamental factors driving the transformation of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s FEC.

The country has also committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. This commitment is being pursued through initiatives such as transitioning to green energy technologies, building hybrid solar-wind power plants, and actively participating in international efforts like the Global Methane Pledge and digital platforms under the UN Environment Programme.
