The &quot;Lebapgazchykarysh&quot; Department put into operation a new gas well &quot;Hazarly-2,&quot; drilled by specialists from the &quot;Marynebitgazg&ouml;zleg&quot; expedition of the State Corporation &quot;T&uuml;rkmengeologi&yacute;a.&quot; The well is located at the Khazarly site near the Bovrideshik gas field and became the first to begin industrial production in this area.

The daily capacity of the well is 120 thousand cubic meters of natural gas. Its commissioning will make it possible to increase production volumes of environmentally friendly fuel, which is in demand in both domestic and foreign markets.

Based on the results of 11 months of the current year, the department&#39;s workforce fulfilled the production plan by more than 101%, having extracted 8.516 billion cubic meters of gas. By the end of the year, it is planned to bring this figure to 9.3 billion cubic meters. An additional result was the production of 28,039 tons of associated gas condensate, which is 2,235 tons above the plan.

The increase in production also ensured an increase in export supplies: the volume of gas exports exceeded the plan by almost 41%, which corresponds to an additional 1.38 billion cubic meters delivered to foreign consumers.

New Gas Well titled "Hazarly-2" Put into Operation in Lebap Velayat of Turkmenistan

National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, on December 24, within the framework of a working trip to Balkan velayat, flew over the Avaza National tourist zone by helicopter and familiarized himself with the ongoing works, natural features of the Caspian coast, new buildings of the expanding tourist zone, and construction works being carried out.

Currently, construction of the Turkmenbashi &mdash; Garabogaz &mdash; Kazakhstan border highway, which was launched with the participation of the esteemed President, is continuing at full pace. The National Leader inspected from the helicopter the works being carried out on the construction of the international transport corridor.

Then Hero Arkadag inspected the production complexes of Avaza. The establishment of uninterrupted operation of Avaza&#39;s high-capacity power station creates the main condition for uninterrupted supply of electricity to production facilities, medical institutions, hotels and residential buildings on the Caspian Sea coast.

Currently, Turkmenbashi International Seaport has become a structure that strengthens our country&#39;s status as a transit transport corridor. This demonstrates that Turkmenistan occupies an important place in ensuring universal connectivity in the international space.

Along with all velayats of our country, the pace of work being carried out at production complexes in Balkan velayat is also steadily increasing. In this regard, thanks to the consistent efforts of the esteemed President, the work of the chemical industry is being improved. During Hero Arkadag&#39;s current working trip to Balkan velayat, attention was also paid to issues related to the proper operation of the Garabogazkarbamid plant.

The Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan completed the flight, arrived at the International Airport of Turkmenbashi city and from there headed to the capital. After some time, the National Leader&#39;s aircraft landed at Ashgabat International Airport.

Chairman of Halk Maslahaty Inspects Production and Construction Works in Balkan Velayat from Helicopter

The Administration &lsquo;D&ouml;wletabatgaz&ccedil;ykaryş&rsquo;, operating in the Sarakhs etrap of the Ahal velayat, has confirmed its status as one of the leaders in the gas industry of Turkmenistan. For the first 11 months of 2025, the company demonstrated steady growth in natural gas and condensate production.

These high performance indicators were achieved through extensive production modernization. A multi-stage feedstock preparation system has been implemented at the field: from primary treatment at the wellhead to advanced processing and gas dehydration at the headworks. This ensures that the product meets international standards before being sent to the main gas pipelines.

A key factor in this success was the renewal of the equipment fleet. Using a heavy-duty drilling rig with a lifting capacity of 180 tons, specialists from the State Concern &lsquo;T&uuml;rkmengaz&rsquo; completed the overhaul of approximately 30 wells with depths of up to 5,000 meters. Effective troubleshooting and bottomhole cleaning have restored wells that had previously experienced reduced productivity.

The work successes of the &lsquo;D&ouml;wletabatgaz&ccedil;ykaryş&rsquo; team ensure the stable implementation of the state strategy to expand export potential and strengthen the energy independence of the country.

Strategic partnership with the United Nations is one of the priorities of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s foreign policy, which consistently develops constructive cooperation at the regional and global levels.
