The ‘Socio-Economic Development and Investment Programme of Turkmenistan for 2026’ defines priority projects, including in the oil and gas industry. This was reported by the online newspaper ‘Nebit-Gaz’.

In particular, attention will be focused on the construction of the ‘Serhetabat-Herat’ pipeline section as part of the ‘Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India’ (TAPI) gas pipeline, the drilling of production wells at the ‘Galkynysh’ field, as well as the exploration and drilling of deep wells to identify new oil and gas reserves.

The programme builds on the achievements of previous development plans and the state budget. Stable growth in macroeconomic indicators is expected, including GDP growth of at least 6.3% in 2026. The implementation of the planned projects should contribute to investment activity, the digitalisation of industries, job creation and an improvement in the standard of living of the population.
