Dear Participants of the International Conference and Exhibition,
I wholeheartedly congratulate you on the opening of the “Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan 2024” International Conference and Exhibition, organized in Ashgabat under the motto “The Treasury of Wisdom of Makhtumkuli Fragi”!

This annual conference and exhibition serve as a platform for constructive discussions on the priorities of Turkmenistan’s fuel and energy complex, fostering mutually beneficial partnerships and introducing new technologies in the oil and gas sector. The exhibition allows visitors to familiarize themselves with the latest innovations, developments, and projects.

Turkmenistan, with its vast hydrocarbon reserves, aims to utilize these natural resources not only for national interests but also for the benefit of the region and the world. In this context, the consolidation of efforts is the key factor in achieving our goals. We are seeing positive dynamics in expanding international cooperation in the fuel and energy sector, and the diversification of export potential remains a priority.

The “Galkynysh” gas field, one of the largest in the world, serves as a raw material base for diversifying natural gas supplies to international markets. Its gradual development through foreign investments ensures both the financial stability of the project and the reliability of natural gas reserves.

Recently, we have launched major projects, including the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline and the “Shatlyk-1” compressor station, which are aimed at supporting regional energy security and promoting prosperity for the region’s people.

I am confident that this conference and exhibition will play a significant role in fostering international cooperation in the oil and gas industry. I wish you good health, prosperity, and great success in your work!
