The state concern " Türkmengaz " is carrying out large-scale work on the stage-by-stage development of the area of the giant gas field " Galkynyş ". Within the framework of the current phase of the field's operation, the Administration " Türkmengazburawlaýyş " on the order of the Administration " Marygazçykaryş " drilled well No. 264 with a depth of more than four thousand meters.

As a result, a productive horizon was opened, located in the depth interval between the levels of 3852 and 4011 meters, and a natural gas inflow with a daily flow rate of 2 million 240 thousand cubic meters was obtained. According to experts, this gas well in the future can play a significant role in strengthening the industrial potential of the country's fuel and energy complex.

The reserves of the Galkynyş field exceed the size of the gas deposits of all the fields currently being developed in Turkmenistan and allow it to be included in the top four most grandiose centers of "blue fuel" on the planet. In terms of total reserves, it is second only to South Pars (located on the territory of Iran and Qatar, reserves are 28 trillion cubic meters) and, in fact, is the second largest in the world.

The work carried out at the field demonstrates the success of measures aimed at developing the domestic fuel and energy complex, expanding production capacities, the effectiveness of geological exploration of the subsoil, strengthening the export potential of the country's natural gas. This is also facilitated by the introduction of innovative technologies and advanced methods in the development of geological formations promising for hydrocarbon reserves, expanding the vectors of international cooperation in the fuel and energy sector, and the formation of long-term and mutually beneficial relations with foreign partners.
