On October 3, 2025, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov held a Cabinet of Ministers meeting via digital communication. During the session, the results of Turkmenistan's socio-economic development for January–September of this year were discussed, including progress in the oil and gas sector.

The reporting period revealed significant achievements in the country’s energy sector. Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers B. Amanov presented a detailed report on the activities of the state concern "Turkmennebit" and oil refining enterprises. It was noted that in the first nine months of the year, "Turkmennebit" fulfilled its oil production plan by 109.7%. For oil refineries, the figure reached 109.4%. Gasoline production met 108.8% of the plan, diesel fuel – 101%, lubricants – 100%, and the production of natural and associated gas – 103.1%.

Steady growth was also recorded in the production of high-quality products such as polypropylene and liquefied gas, and in the export of natural gas abroad. These figures indicate the effective use of production capacities in the oil and gas sector, modernization of its technological base, and the strengthening of Turkmenistan’s position in the international energy market.

After hearing the report, the President emphasized the need to further enhance the efficiency of production capacities, integrate new technologies, and broadly utilize digital systems. He outlined clear tasks for discovering new hydrocarbon reserves using modern technologies and for developing new methods of processing oil and natural gas.

Additionally, specific instructions were given to expand export routes of the gas industry and develop cooperation with foreign partners. These directives aim to ensure the continued stable development of the energy sector, which is a key pillar of Turkmenistan's economic growth.

As is well known, extensive geological exploration is currently underway in the country, new fields are being developed, and effective cooperation with international companies is being established. Ongoing work at major gas fields such as “Galkynysh,” “Bagtyyarlyk,” and “Yashlar” contributes to the growth of gas exports and further enhances Turkmenistan’s reputation in the global energy market.

The economic policy pursued under the leadership of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov is aimed at modernizing the energy system, transitioning to environmentally friendly production methods, and accessing new markets. Turkmenistan has established itself as a reliable energy partner globally and contributes not only to energy exports but also to strengthening international energy security.

Thus, the achievements of the first nine months of this year clearly demonstrate the dynamic growth of the oil and gas industry, forming a solid foundation for Turkmenistan's economic development and international cooperation. Guided by the foresighted policy of President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, Turkmenistan will continue to strengthen its role in the global energy market, creating broad opportunities for the well-being of its people and prosperity of the state.
