Honorable President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, during the extended meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers held on February 7, evaluated the work done last year in all sectors of the national economy, emphasizing that the main task of the successfully implemented development program aimed at strengthening the country's oil and gas complex is the modernization of industry structures based on the introduction of new technologies and advanced developments. Positive results are primarily achieved through identifying existing opportunities in the production structures of the sector and implementing them in operations. In this context, the work carried out at the gas production management "Körpedje" of the "Neftgazdobicha" trust of the state concern "Turkmengas," which is one of the largest production complexes in the fuel and energy sector of the country, fully meets modern requirements.
In terms of technical and economic support, this management, which has undergone consistent modernization in recent years, continues to operate effectively among the many enterprises engaged in the extraction and preparation of oil, gas, gas condensate, drilling exploration and production wells, pumping hydrocarbons through pipelines, construction and reconstruction of fields, gas pumping stations, and regulating facilities, as well as performing capital and underground well repairs. Last year, the enterprise produced more than 2.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas and 45,500 tons of gas condensate. In January, the month of international peace and trust, the specialists of the management achieved new high results. In the first month of the year, the volume of natural gas extracted from active wells in rich fields amounted to 273 million cubic meters, which is 220% of the planned figure. It is important to note that the volume of natural gas extracted during the reporting period of the previous year exceeded 50 million cubic meters. Also, last month, 5115 tons of gas condensate were extracted from this area, which is 3900 tons more than in the previous month.
The "Körpedje" management, engaged in the extraction and preparation of natural gas and gas condensate at the "Körpedeje," "Chekishler," and "Altygui" fields, has become one of the most efficient enterprises within the state concern "Turkmengas" since its launch in 1998. The management operates in rich fields, covering an area of 160 kilometers from north to south and 30 kilometers from east to west. Currently, 740 people are employed at this enterprise. The latest scientific and technical advancements, modern designs, and precise computer systems are widely used at various sections and units of the management. This ensures reliable satisfaction of the region's and the population's natural gas needs. In the "Akpatlawuk" gas complex, issues arising from servicing productive wells are effectively addressed. Gas from these wells is processed at specialized installations and supplied to consumers.
— "We have all the opportunities for effective work that meets the demands of the time. The latest scientific and technological achievements are actively used in our production units and installations. Currently, 40 of the active wells are located at the 'Körpedeje' field, about 30 at the 'Chekishler' field, and three more at the 'Altygui' field. Last year, capital restoration was carried out on 13 wells. This positively impacted the increase in the extraction of hydrocarbons from the beginning of this year. We are grateful to our President for the opportunities provided, which allow us to achieve high production results," shares his opinion, Chief Geologist of the management, Niyazmurat Niyazmyradow.
At the gas condensate wells of the "Körpedeje" field, work continues to ensure the long-term operation of hydrocarbon deposits and maintain them in optimal working condition. For this, with the participation of specialists from the "Neftegazilmitaslama" Institute, "Turkmenneftegeofizika," and the management for repairs and technical maintenance, a number of studies were conducted that allowed a deeper understanding of the impact of various factors on productivity and measures to maintain normal operating conditions. At the end of January this year, drilling work was successfully completed on well 135 at the "Günorta Bugdaly" field. This well now extracts 215 thousand cubic meters of natural gas and 22 tons of gas condensate daily. Currently, a new well, number 136, is being prepared for drilling at this field.
