Turkmenistan holds a key position on Asia&rsquo;s energy map. Gas exports to countries like China, Turkey, and soon Iraq, are a vital part of the country&rsquo;s foreign economic policy. Large-scale projects such as the &ldquo;Galkynysh&rdquo; field not only generate significant revenue but also enhance Turkmenistan&rsquo;s reputation as a reliable partner for international companies.

OGT-2025 is a continuation of this progress, creating opportunities to explore new directions in regional energy cooperation, forge new partnerships, and develop innovative solutions. It is more than just a forum &mdash; it is a clear expression of the country&rsquo;s energy strategy, a roadmap for sustainable development, and a new chapter in international collaboration.

On October 20, the National Leader of the Turkmen People and Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, inspected the progress of construction in Afghanistan of the Serhetabat-Herat section, known as &quot;Arkadagyň ak &yacute;oly,&quot; which is part of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project.

Hero Arkadag arrived in the Afghan province of Rabat-Sangi, to the construction site of the Serhetabat-Herat section of the gas pipeline. There, the National Leader of the Turkmen People was warmly welcomed by members of the official delegations of our country and Afghanistan.

This is fully demonstrated by the work carried out by the State Concern &quot;T&uuml;rkmengaz&quot; to build new gas pipelines of international significance.

As Hero Arkadag noted, a solid material and technical base has been established for the implementation of the aforementioned project: this process is supported by more than 200 units of modern and powerful equipment. Afghan citizens will also be involved in the project, and its full implementation will create new jobs for the Afghan people.

From October 22 to 24, 2025, the capital city of Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, will host the international conference &ldquo;Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan &ndash; 2025&rdquo; (&ldquo;OGT-2025&rdquo;), one of the most significant events of the year in the country&#39;s energy sector. This international forum will bring together leading representatives of the global energy industry, heads of international financial institutions, research centers, government agencies, and major oil and gas companies for broad discussions on key issues in the global energy agenda.

The main goal of the conference is to widely promote the current state, opportunities, and development directions of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s oil and gas industry at the international level, attract new investments, and open up new areas of cooperation. The event will not only highlight the achievements of the country&#39;s energy strategy but also affirm Turkmenistan&rsquo;s confident position in the global energy market.

In recent years, Turkmenistan has implemented large-scale reforms in the oil and gas sector. Modern technologies are being introduced in hydrocarbon extraction, processing, and export to international markets. The industrial development of the &quot;Galkynysh&quot; gas field, the construction of the Turkmenistan&ndash;Afghanistan&ndash;Pakistan&ndash;India (TAPI) pipeline, and the launch of modern oil and gas processing plants are strengthening the country&#39;s economic potential. These initiatives contribute not only to national economic growth but also to regional and global energy security.

Turkmenistan currently ranks among the top countries in the world in terms of natural gas reserves. Comprehensive political, economic, and technological measures are being implemented at the state level to ensure the sustainable and efficient use of this wealth. Under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, state programs in the country are paying special attention to digitalization of the energy sector, transition to green energy, and environmentally friendly production. This positions Turkmenistan as a country open to modern trends in the global energy landscape.

The &ldquo;OGT-2025&rdquo; international conference will offer broad opportunities to present these initiatives to the global community. During the various sessions, participants will discuss current trends in the modern energy market, new prospects for natural gas in international markets, the hydrogen economy, renewable energy sources, and energy security. Negotiations will also be held with partner country officials, investors, and representatives of international organizations on new economic cooperation projects.

Hosting this international forum will further increase foreign investors&#39; interest in Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy market. Such events enable global companies to establish direct communication with the national energy sector and initiate joint projects. This, in turn, paves the way for the introduction of new technologies, digital solutions, and advanced expertise into the national economy.

Today, the energy sector serves as a key driver of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s economic development. Revenues from hydrocarbon production and export not only enhance the country&rsquo;s economic strength but also contribute to job creation and improved social welfare. State-led efforts in this area stimulate the growth of other sectors such as industry, transport and logistics, construction, and services.

The &ldquo;Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan &ndash; 2025&rdquo; international conference is of not only economic, but also political and strategic importance. The forum clearly demonstrates the implementation of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s foreign policy based on openness, cooperation, and peace. Through this event, Turkmenistan shows the international community that it uses its natural resources not only for economic gain but also for the broader goals of sustainable and mutually beneficial development.

Thus, the upcoming &ldquo;OGT-2025&rdquo; international conference in Ashgabat will mark a new stage in the country&rsquo;s large-scale energy reforms, international cooperation, and economic growth. This important forum will further solidify Turkmenistan&rsquo;s position in the global energy market and serve as clear evidence of the successful implementation of its strategy based on peace, sustainable development, and mutually beneficial partnership.

In the Year of International Peace and Trust, significant steps are being taken to protect the natural wealth and beauty of our country, preserve the environment, and develop an economy based on ecological sustainability.

Today, industrial enterprises and social facilities built in line with the principles of the &ldquo;green&rdquo; economy are equipped with modern, innovative technologies. The construction of the city of Arkadag serves as a clear example of an innovative approach not only to improving the socio-economic system but also to environmental protection. As the region&rsquo;s first &ldquo;smart&rdquo; city, Arkadag fully meets ecological standards and integrates harmoniously with the surrounding environment.

Raising public environmental awareness is also a vital aspect of sustainable development. Regular tree-planting ceremonies and community clean-up campaigns aimed at protecting nature clearly reflect ongoing efforts in this field.

The participation of the Honorable President in several of these initiatives demonstrates the Head of State&rsquo;s special attention to environmental protection. Tasks such as establishing forest belts, combating desertification, and preserving biological diversity are being successfully addressed through tree planting and care. Furthermore, the creation of the &ldquo;Altyn Asyr&rdquo; Turkmen Lake in the Karakum Desert has positively influenced the regulation of pasture use and the improvement of the overall ecological situation in the region.

President of Turkmenistan held a regular meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers

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.

CNPC began its operations in Turkmenistan in 2002, investing in the oil and gas sector and providing engineering and technical services.

In 2007, CNPC and the Turkmengaz State Concern signed significant agreements on production sharing and long-term natural gas exports within the framework of the Bagtyyarlyk contractual territory. That same year, the company started industrial development of fields on the right bank of the Amu Darya River.

The Bagtyyarlyk area includes the Samandepe, Altyn Asyr, and several other fields, serving as a major source of Turkmen gas supplied through the &ldquo;Turkmenistan&ndash;China&rdquo; pipeline.

According to media reports, CNPC&rsquo;s total investment in the project exceeds USD 9.4 billion.

In 2024&ndash;2025, CNPC continues its active participation in the development of Turkmenistan&#39;s gas sector. The company is modernizing production facilities, expanding the GGIZ-2 gas processing plant within the Bagtyyarlyk project, repairing and servicing compressor equipment, and working to improve operational efficiency to enhance the reliability and throughput capacity of infrastructure.

These initiatives demonstrate CNPC&rsquo;s commitment to supporting the modernization of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy infrastructure and strengthening its technological base.

According to its corporate strategy, CNPC aims to achieve near-zero carbon emissions by 2050, adhering to the principles of &ldquo;clean alternatives, strategic transformation, and green development.&rdquo;

The company actively adopts digital and innovative solutions, develops renewable energy projects, and improves the environmental standards of its operations.

These goals align with the theme of OGT 2025 &mdash; &ldquo;Energy. Innovation. Development.&rdquo; &mdash; highlighting the shared vision of Turkmenistan and CNPC for sustainable development and technological advancement.

By participating as a platinum sponsor, CNPC reaffirms its long-term commitment to the development of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s energy sector. The company&#39;s involvement enhances the international status of the forum and facilitates knowledge exchange among global and regional energy leaders.
