As part of his official visit to Italy, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov participated in the Turkmen-Italian Business Forum on October 25.

In his speech, the head of state first expressed gratitude for the invitation to speak at this important forum. Berdimuhamedov noted that such a representative attendance is seen as evidence of growing interest in Turkmenistan and a desire to expand mutually beneficial cooperation.

President Berdimuhamedov emphasized the guidelines, priorities, and strategic goals for Turkmenistan&#39;s development.

First, this is the creation of an industrial society. Our country has embarked on a fundamental transformation of the national economy, reorienting it from a raw materials-based model to an industrial one, introducing high-tech, knowledge-intensive industries, building modern enterprises producing high-added-value products, and creating a closed-loop, green economy with a minimal carbon footprint.

The head of state identified economic diversification&mdash;both structural and geographic&mdash;as his second goal. This involves creating new industries or radically modernizing traditional ones. Impressive results have been achieved in sectors such as the chemical and textile industries, agricultural processing, construction materials production, and others.

Turkmenistan is actively expanding into new foreign markets and developing cooperation with partners in Europe and Asia. This entails creating a modern transport and logistics infrastructure and transforming the country into a hub for East-West and North-South transport links. This is the third strategic goal, which we are consistently pursuing, noted President Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

Regarding the fourth goal, with its colossal hydrocarbon reserves, Turkmenistan has begun developing a full-fledged national industry for natural gas processing and the production of high-quality products aimed at foreign markets.

Serdar Berdimuhamedov noted that Italian businesses have been present in Turkmenistan for many years in the oil and gas sector and the hotel industry, and that a number of projects are being implemented in construction and trade. A partnership has been established with the leading Italian oil company Eni, which has been operating in Turkmenistan since 2008. Italian companies actively supply equipment and resources for Turkmenistan&#39;s oil and gas sector.

Noting that he views this meeting as an important step toward establishing and strengthening long-term trade, economic, and investment ties between Italy&#39;s business community and our country, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov invited representatives of the Italian business community to engage in broad, comprehensive cooperation. Concluding his speech, the Turkmen leader wished the business forum participants productive work.

A conference will be held in Ashgabat on November 1 to mark the 32nd anniversary of the introduction of the national manat

At the international conference &ldquo;Turkmenistan Oil and Gas &ndash; 2025&rdquo; held in Ashgabat, Irina Luryeva delivered a report on the current state and future prospects of the Galkynysh field development. Doctor of Technical Sciences Irina Luryeva, head of the laboratory for field development and international gas pipelines at the Scientific Research Natural Gas Institute of Turkmengaz, addressed two key issues.

Specifically, regarding the strategy and current state of the Galkynysh field, Irina Luryeva stated: 
&ldquo;The development of the Galkynysh field is being carried out according to a seven-stage development strategy. Currently, the first stage involves pilot-industrial operations. There are 52 operating wells, and 7 more wells are being prepared for commissioning. In addition, 8 wells are actively being drilled.&rdquo;

Irina Luryeva noted that the average design flow rate of the wells is 1.5 million cubic meters/day, and the reservoir capacity can support up to 3 million cubic meters/day in the long term. In 2022, three wells with a stable flow of 3 million cubic meters/day were commissioned. According to forecasts made together with Gaffney Cline experts, the stable gas production period for each stage will exceed 30 years.

Regarding future development, Irina Luryeva stated: 
&ldquo;In the near future, the second, third, and fourth stages are planned. Gas production rates will gradually increase, and the development strategy allows for efficient allocation of investments, taking into account the experience of operating wells.&rdquo;

Furthermore, with the accumulation of new geological and production data, the geological-hydrodynamic model will be updated, which will help assess production efficiency and optimize development projects. Once all stages are fully implemented, the total annual gas production at the field could reach approximately 200 billion cubic meters.

Irina Luryeva also emphasized the importance of technological and environmental issues, including drilling operations, construction of gas processing plants, and neutralization of acidic gases and CO₂. Projects are planned to inject carbon dioxide into the water-bearing layers of the field and depleted reservoirs of neighboring fields, which allows the creation of technogenic reservoirs and reduces environmental impacts.

Doctor of Technical Sciences Irina Luryeva&nbsp;holds over 20 patents and more than 200 scientific publications. She graduated from the Turkmen State Institute of Architecture and Construction in 1988, has been working at the Scientific Research Natural Gas Institute of Turkmengaz since 2006, heads the laboratory, and advises young specialists. Her scientific interests are related to hydrodynamic modeling, field development technologies, and well operation.

&ldquo;This unique holiday, celebrated in honor of the Turkmen Alabay, has special significance in the International Year of Peace and Trust. Turkmen Alabays possess an innate quality of being protectors of the home and peace, and they are a true embodiment of loyalty.

Today, the Turkmen Alabay, having preserved its original appearance, has become one of the symbols of beauty and of the material and spiritual values of our people.

Furthermore, to promote dog breeding in Turkmenistan and to widely popularize achievements in this area internationally, the magazine &lsquo;T&uuml;rkmeniň nusgalyk alaba&yacute;y&rsquo; (&lsquo;The Exemplary Turkmen Alabay&rsquo;) was founded. The country has also established Alabay centers that meet international standards.

In addition, Turkmen Alabay Day is celebrated annually, featuring various competitions. Alabays bred by local dog breeders are invited to participate in the contest for the title of &lsquo;Turkmen Brave Alabay of the Year&rsquo; (&Yacute;ylyň t&uuml;rkmen edermen alaba&yacute;y). This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the excellent qualities of Turkmen Alabays, rightfully regarded as an embodiment of beauty. It serves as a clear example of the comprehensive efforts being made to preserve their purity and promote them worldwide.

We will continue to pay great attention to the development of dog breeding, to strengthening effective international cooperation in this area, to exchanging experience with other countries, and to further improving the living and working conditions of our dog breeders,&rdquo; the Head of State noted.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov wished everyone good health, long life, family well-being, and great success in further developing and perfecting the Turkmen art of dog breeding.

The XXX International Conference and Exhibition &quot;Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan &mdash; 2025&quot; (OGT 2025) is being held at the building of the Turkmenistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry under the organization of the state concerns &quot;Turkmengaz&quot; and &quot;Turkmennebit.&quot; This important event is organized to discuss current challenges and future opportunities in the energy sector, as well as to contribute to the sustainable development of the country&rsquo;s oil and gas industry.

The main goal of the conference is to increase the capacity of the country&#39;s fuel and energy complex, strengthen strategic cooperation, and introduce new oil and gas projects. The forum extensively discusses the significance of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s abundant natural gas reserves and ongoing efforts to transform the country into an energy hub of the region. Representatives from dozens of countries worldwide participate in this forum, promoting expanded cooperation.

Turkmenistan&rsquo;s economic strategy focuses not only on raw material exports but also on developing the production of petrochemical products with high added value, as well as environmentally friendly energy systems. The state, together with foreign partners, is accelerating work on diversifying export routes, developing the processing industry, and creating modern energy and chemical clusters.

To expand the export potential of the fuel and energy complex, active work is underway to improve the reliability of existing pipelines, implement liquefied gas production projects, and develop regional energy corridors. These projects play a vital role in ensuring the region&rsquo;s energy security and strengthening economic cooperation.

Special attention is paid to the development of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s petrochemical industry. Large investments are being attracted for the production of ammonia, mineral fertilizers, polymers, and other high value-added products. These objectives contribute to the growth of domestic production, job creation, and the adoption of foreign technologies.

Digitalization and the broad implementation of innovative technologies also play a significant role in the development of the oil and gas sector. New training centers are being established to improve the skills of industry workers, and experience exchange programs are being carried out within the framework of international cooperation. Thus, the oil and gas complex regularly familiarizes itself with advanced global technologies.

At the forum, representatives of government bodies, international organizations, and oil and gas industry experts discussed opportunities, future projects, and Turkmenistan&rsquo;s role in the region in detail. As noted in the congratulatory message from the President of Turkmenistan, the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project, as well as the Serhetabat-Herat gas pipeline, are of great importance for ensuring the region&rsquo;s energy security and developing energy cooperation.

The exhibition features technologies from leading global companies as well as works by Turkmen entrepreneurs in the oil and gas, logistics, and service sectors. For example, China&rsquo;s CNPC, Italy&rsquo;s Eni, Baker Hughes, Japan&rsquo;s Sumitomo, ADNOC from Abu Dhabi, and other international partners showcased their innovative solutions and joint projects.

The forum&rsquo;s plenary sessions covered comprehensive topics including innovation, energy transition, environmental protection, and carbon emissions reduction. Particular emphasis was placed on expanding export routes for Turkmenistan&rsquo;s natural gas and modernizing the energy and petrochemical industries. Important tasks also included the implementation of digital systems and technological innovations in the oil and gas sector.

Turkmenistan&rsquo;s rich natural gas reserves not only form the foundation of the country&rsquo;s energy security but also make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of the region. These opportunities foster expanded international cooperation, attract new investments, and support the development of technological partnerships.

Thus, major projects in the oil and gas sector, the introduction of modern technologies, and the expansion of transport and logistics capabilities provide a strong impetus for the development of various sectors of Turkmenistan&rsquo;s economy. This forum demonstrates the successful implementation of the country&rsquo;s energy strategy and the effectiveness of efforts aimed at sustainable development and transforming the region into an energy hub.

Turkmenistan held a regular meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers

Guvanch Agajanov, Chairman of the Turkmennebit State Concern, spoke at the session &quot;Commodities for the Energy Transition: New Horizons for Investment&quot; at the OGT 2025 International Conference. In his speech, he expressed Turkmenistan&#39;s readiness to expand international partnerships and attract investors to develop the rich hydrocarbon resources of the Caspian shelf.

Emphasizing that Turkmenistan&#39;s total hydrocarbon reserves amount to over 71 billion tons of oil equivalent, Agajanov identified the development of licensed blocks in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea as a key investment area. The Chairman of Turkmenistan recalled that in May 2025, a new Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) for Block 1 was signed between Turkmenistan, Petronas Carigali, and ADNOC (XRG). This agreement marked a new stage in the development of cooperation in the offshore sector and confirmed the country&#39;s openness to global investors with advanced technologies.

&quot;Today, Turkmenistan invites new partners to develop offshore resources,&quot; Agajanov noted. Among the attractive conditions for foreign investors, the speaker highlighted: updated geological and geophysical data for priority blocks, a transparent legislative and contractual framework, and simplified tax and customs regulations for long-term investments.

The head of Turkmenistan emphasized that Turkmenistan is actively modernizing its oil refining and petrochemical industries, striving for diversification and the production of high-value-added products. The Turkmenbashi Oil Refinery Complex has undergone a large-scale modernization, enabling it to produce a wide range of fuels, lubricants, polypropylene, and bitumen for the domestic market and export. Plans are underway to build a new petrochemical complex, which will expand the production of polymers and chemical feedstocks, which are a critical component of the global clean energy supply chain.

To improve operational efficiency, Turkmennebit is actively implementing digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI), which is becoming a key tool for improving safety, reducing operating costs, and minimizing downtime. The introduction of intelligent wells and digital modeling significantly increases the efficiency of geological exploration, drilling, field development, and oil refining. &quot;The future of hydrocarbon energy must be not only productive but also responsible, ensuring cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable production,&quot; the chairman of the concern concluded, confirming that Turkmenistan is open to cooperation with international investors, technology companies, and financial institutions in the areas of offshore projects, petrochemicals, and clean energy.

One of the priority areas of Turkmenistan&#39;s foreign policy is long-term cooperation with the United Nations in areas such as peace and security, energy, transport and communications, the environment, and sustainable development.
