Independent neutral Turkmenistan, rich in hydrocarbon reserves, continues to strengthen its position in the global energy arena. Drillers of the State Concern "Turkmennebit" make a significant contribution to this.

In the first seven months of this year, the concern's teams drilled 99,663 meters of rock, exceeding the plan by 103.3%. Large-scale work is being carried out at the country's oil and gas fields.

As the manager of the "Nebitgazburawlayysh" trust Magtymguly Gayipov noted, the visit of the National Leader of the Turkmen people Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to the Uzynada field in January 2022 became a powerful impetus for the further development of the oil and gas industry. The tasks set then for the development of the country's resource potential are being successfully implemented.

In accordance with the "Program for the Development of the Oil and Gas Industry of Turkmenistan until 2030", the country's drillers are actively developing new fields and increasing hydrocarbon production.

Five new wells have been commissioned at the Uzynada field. Currently, drilling operations are ongoing at five new wells. Thus, at the Uzynada field of the Goturdepe Drilling Department, work is underway on wells No. 79 and No. 80. The design depth of the wells is 5,476 and 6,800 meters, respectively.

The drilling teams of the Korpeje and Ekerem departments are successfully implementing the tasks set. Drilling operations at wells No. 81 and No. 85 of the Korpeje site, headed by Eimir Gaiypov and Tagangeldy Amanov, respectively, are ahead of schedule. The new wells are planned to be commissioned by the end of the year. Well No. 84 at the Uzynada field, developed by the Ekerem Department, will reach a depth of 6,800 meters. Perman Muradov's team has already drilled thousands of meters of rock.

Thanks to state support and the introduction of modern technologies, drilling operations have reached a new level. The teams of drillers of the Korpeje and Ekerem Departments are successfully implementing large-scale projects to drill new wells.

High-performance drilling rigs ZD 70 DB purchased in China at the initiative of the President of Turkmenistan allow drillers to effectively develop new fields.

Masters of their craft - drillers, drilling foremen, repairmen and other specialists - demonstrating the highest professionalism and hard work, since the beginning of the year have put into operation 18 new wells, providing a significant increase in oil production.
