On January 3, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov chaired a regular Cabinet of Ministers meeting via a digital system, during which a range of priority issues concerning state affairs were reviewed.

Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, B. Amanov, reported on the draft Work Plans for 2025 for the sectoral departments of the oil and gas industry.

According to these plans, the State Concerns "Türkmengaz" and "Türkmennebit" have outlined objectives for the comprehensive development of oil and gas fields, the extraction of natural and associated gas, oil, and gas condensate, the production of liquefied gas, the export of Turkmen "blue fuel," as well as the advanced processing of oil and the supply of petroleum products to domestic and international consumers.

The State Corporation "Türkmengeologiýa" plans to carry out activities aimed at identifying oil- and gas-rich strata, exploring solid mineral resources and underground water, increasing their reserves, and widely introducing advanced scientific achievements and innovative technologies into production.

In addition, among the main objectives are the phased development of the "Galkynysh" gas field, which ranks among the world's largest reserves of "blue fuel," and the construction of a key segment of the Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) gas pipeline—namely, the Serhetabat–Herat section, also known as the "Arkadag’s White Path."

Summarizing the report, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov emphasized that the fuel and energy sector is one of the key segments of the national economy. In this regard, efforts should focus on increasing the production capacity of specialized enterprises, adopting modern technologies, and implementing comprehensive measures in this direction.

Approving the proposed Work Plans for the oil and gas complex, the head of state instructed the Vice Premier to carry out the necessary work.
