2025, the International Year of Peace and Trust, is drawing to a close, marking the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan&#39;s permanent neutrality.

The year&#39;s results have not yet been summarized in figures, but the most significant events that marked this anniversary year are already visible, including those in the development of the oil and gas industry&mdash;a key segment of the national economy and a strategic resource for the country.

During working meetings and sessions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan held this year, current areas of the energy strategy, focused on innovative development and improvement of the fuel and energy infrastructure, were discussed. Among the strategic objectives set by President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov for the fuel and energy sector, which are being successfully implemented in 2025 by the state concerns Turkmengas, Turkmennebit, and the State Corporation Turkmengeology, are the identification and development of new promising fields, expansion of production capacity, increased hydrocarbon production and processing volumes, ensuring uninterrupted gas supplies to consumers and reliable energy transportation, as well as expanding business contacts with leading oil and gas companies and reputable financial institutions.

In 2025, the implementation of large-scale international projects continued, including the construction of the Turkmenistan&ndash;Afghanistan&ndash;Pakistan&ndash;India (TAPI) gas pipeline, which is designed not only to supply Turkmen gas to Asian countries but also to become an important factor in strengthening economic partnership, peace, and stability in the region. In this regard, the launch of the next stage of the Serhetabat-Herat gas pipeline, known as &quot;Arkadagyň ak &yacute;oly&quot; and part of the TAPI project, was a significant event of the year.

Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, symbolically launched welding work on the Afghan section. Speaking at the ceremony, Arkadagyň noted that Afghan citizens will also be involved in the project&#39;s implementation, and its full implementation will create new jobs. Furthermore, annual revenues to Afghanistan will average over $1 billion, which will have a positive impact on bilateral relations and the development of the region as a whole.

One of the key areas of independent Turkmenistan&#39;s energy strategy remains the supply of Turkmen energy to foreign markets. This topic has been repeatedly raised during meetings and negotiations at the highest and other levels.

Thus, as part of the official visit of Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov to Italy on October 25, a Turkmen-Italian business forum was held in Rome, bringing together over 150 representatives of the two countries&#39; business communities. In his speech, the head of state noted that Turkmenistan is considering the prospects of a western energy supply route, emphasizing its readiness for substantive dialogue with Italian partners, including in the areas of deep processing and the export of high-value-added products.

Throughout the year, work continued on the industrial development of Turkmen offshore fields in the Caspian Sea, as well as the world&#39;s largest onshore gas field, Galkynysh, with reserves estimated at 27.4 trillion cubic meters.

A significant achievement for drillers at the State Concern Turkmennebit was the commissioning of a new well at the Uzynada field, measuring 6,830 meters deep and producing 70 tons of oil condensate and 75,000 cubic meters of natural gas daily. Notably, the well was commissioned at the beginning of the International Year of Peace and Trust.

Turkmen geologists continued active work to identify new underground natural resource reserves. Seismic exploration in the country&#39;s provinces revealed several promising structures. Another significant milestone was the opening in July of the third oil loading berth at the Kenar oil product storage and loading facility of the Turkmenbashi Oil Refinery Complex of the State Concern Turkmennebit.

A clear example of Turkmenistan&#39;s commitment to international climate action, including participation in the Global Methane Emissions Reduction Commitment, is the work to reduce emissions at the Darvaza gas crater. In June 2025, a significant reduction in gas supply to the crater was reported, confirmed by both a visual reduction in combustion intensity and independent satellite data from the Capterio company.

Specialized exhibitions and conferences traditionally play an important role in promoting the domestic fuel and energy sector and developing international cooperation. In 2025, Turkmenistan actively participated in a number of significant international forums both domestically and internationally.

A key event was the International Forum on Attracting Foreign Investments.

Key Events in Turkmenistan's Oil and Gas Sector in 2025

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.

The Role of the Public in the Climate Agenda Discussed in Ashgabat

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. In the International Year of Peace and Trust, marked by two anniversary dates&mdash;the 30th anniversary of the permanent neutrality of the Motherland and the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the UN&mdash;this traditional interaction once again confirms its effectiveness and forward-looking focus. Evidence of this includes the outcomes of the fourth meeting of the Strategic Advisory Council &ldquo;Turkmenistan&ndash;UN,&rdquo; held in October in Ashgabat, successfully implemented and ongoing joint projects in various fields, as well as a solid package of bilateral documents aimed at long-term, multifaceted partnership.

An integral component of the productive Turkmenistan&ndash;UN dialogue is cooperation in the humanitarian sphere. In order to implement the tasks arising from the above-mentioned medium-term programmes, strengthen productive ties, and take concrete measures, Work Plans for the period 2026&ndash;2027 have been prepared and signed. These plans focus on the main areas of partnership between UNICEF, UNFPA, and the relevant ministries, departments, and institutions of our country.

It should also be noted that Turkmenistan currently serves as a member of the Commission on Population and Development for the period 2024&ndash;2028. As is known, earlier our country was elected to this Commission for two consecutive terms: 2016&ndash;2020 and 2020&ndash;2024.

With regard to gender policy, the principle of equal rights and freedoms and the creation of equal opportunities for men and women, in accordance with the Constitution of Turkmenistan and generally recognized international norms, has been defined as one of the priorities of the state strategy of the Motherland.

Thus, in the International Year of Peace and Trust, Neutral Turkmenistan, making a significant contribution to the advancement of the global humanitarian agenda, demonstrates its unwavering commitment to broad, multifaceted cooperation with the United Nations, its specialized agencies, and, in general, with all interested foreign partners for the sake of universal peace, prosperity, and progress.
