The diligent work of experienced employees of the &quot;Lebapnebitgazg&ouml;zleg&quot; expedition of the State Corporation &quot;T&uuml;rkmengeologi&yacute;a&quot; has yielded long-awaited results. An industrial inflow of oil &mdash; a valuable raw material &mdash; was obtained from the exploration well No. 1907 drilled by them in the western part of the Goturdepe field.

&quot;We have confidently stepped into the International Year of Peace and Trust.

The Lebap geological exploration team drilled a well nearly 4,000 meters deep at the mentioned field. This is the deepest well drilled in this area. As a result, a rich layer of oil and natural gas was discovered in the 13th horizon of the lower red layer.

The successful completion of exploration work convincingly confirms the field&rsquo;s great potential for producing valuable natural resources.

This significant labor achievement in a landmark year was achieved thanks to the coordinated efforts of the drilling rig supervisor Jumageldy Orazov and his team members.

It is especially worth noting the high qualifications and extensive experience of the team members. Among them, the master driller Magtym Mahmudov, lead geologist Mamurjan Charyyev, driller Tore Bazarov, as well as assistant drillers Gahryman Gurtgeldiyev, Artyk Ovezgulyyev, and others stand out.

&quot;If fate allows, the number of such joyful news will increase significantly this year. Our drillers are working with great diligence.
