Natural gas and condensate have been produced from the Uzynada oil and gas field, situated in Turkmenistan’s sector of the Caspian Sea. This development follows a government briefing that highlighted the role of the Uzynada discovery in strengthening the national energy sector and boosting economic momentum across the country.
Officials stated that the state enterprise Turkmenneft received the output from Uzynada during a recent meeting conducted via video conference. The operational update underscores Turkmenistan’s ongoing efforts to expand natural gas extraction and ensure reliable supply to regional markets.
Top leadership welcomed the news, emphasizing that new reserves could accelerate economic growth and augment the country’s energy export capacity. The President noted that expanding resource bases helps diversify revenue streams and reinforces Turkmenistan’s position as a significant energy supplier in the Caspian region.
Meanwhile, regional media outlets reported that a broader strategy is underway to enhance onshore drilling by 2023, with plans to drill dozens of wells and undertake offshore work aimed at expanding exploration and production activity. These steps form part of Turkmenistan’s broader plan to modernize its energy infrastructure and improve market access for its hydrocarbon resources.
Earlier coverage suggested that Turkmenistan might nearly double natural gas exports to major buyers in Asia, backed by the completion of an additional branch of the Turkmenistan–Uzbekistan–Kazakhstan–China gas pipeline. The ongoing pipeline expansion aligns with the country’s objective to strengthen energy ties with neighboring economies and deliver steadier supplies to growing demand centers.
