In the first seven months of 2025, oil workers from the “Gamyshlydzhanebit” enterprise operating in the Esenguly district of Balkan province extracted more than 397,443 tons of crude oil. According to ussatnews.com, this figure represents 115% of the planned production target.

Work to increase hydrocarbon output continues at several fields — including Southern Gamyshlydja, Nebitlidje, Shatut, Gamyshlydja, Körpedje, and Altyguyu. The implementation of modern technologies and equipment is contributing to steady growth in oil production.

Turkmenistan’s land is rich in natural resources. The country’s significant oil and gas reserves are not only a strategic advantage but also a key driver of its sustainable economic development, the source notes.
