In anticipation of significant dates – the 34th anniversary of Independence and the 30th anniversary of permanent neutrality of Turkmenistan – the labour collectives of the State Concern ‘Türkmennebit’ are demonstrating impressive production results. In the International Year of Peace and Trust, oil and gas industry workers continue to make a significant contribution to the country's economic development. This was reported by the online publication AsmanNews.

Numerous enterprises of the concern, including production, transport and processing divisions, are working in close coordination. Their coordinated activities have made it possible in the first five months of this year not only to meet but also to exceed the planned hydrocarbon production targets by 9%.

The work of the specialists of the Main Oil Pipelines Department deserves special attention, as they ensured the uninterrupted transportation of oil to the Turkmenbashy Oil Refinery. The total volume of raw materials pumped amounted to almost 2 million tonnes, including 23,800 tonnes delivered by sea across the Caspian Sea.

These achievements are of particular importance for the implementation of the strategic ‘Programme for the Development of the Oil and Gas Industry of Turkmenistan until 2030’. High production figures were made possible by the modernisation of infrastructure, the introduction of modern technologies and the professionalism of industry workers.
