Registration is officially underway for the 31st International Conference and Exhibition "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan — OGT 2026," scheduled to take place in Ashgabat from October 21 to 23. Under the official theme "Energy. Cooperation. Development," the forum will address the pivotal challenges and opportunities facing the global energy sector. The event serves as a premier venue for international energy leaders, financial institutions, and technical experts to explore Turkmenistan’s vast hydrocarbon potential and its evolving energy strategy.

The agenda highlights several landmark projects, including the next phases of development for the "Galkynysh" gas field, one of the world's largest natural gas accumulations. Participants will also receive updates on the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline and offshore exploration initiatives in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea. Discussions will focus on enhancing production infrastructure and diversifying export capabilities to ensure regional energy security and sustainable economic growth.

A major focus of OGT 2026 will be the transition toward cleaner energy and the implementation of environmental best practices. Specialized sessions will delve into methane emission reduction, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, and the potential of green hydrogen. Furthermore, the conference will explore how digital transformation and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the oil and gas industry, improving operational efficiency while minimizing the environmental footprint of extraction and processing activities.

In addition to high-level plenary sessions and ministerial roundtables, the event will feature an international exhibition showcasing over 100 global companies. Dedicated B2B and B2G networking opportunities will facilitate direct dialogue between government representatives and private investors. Prospective attendees are encouraged to register through the official OGT 2026 website to secure their participation in this strategic international forum.
