The international forum on attracting foreign investment in the
oil and gas sector of Turkmenistan is scheduled for March 29-30 in
Ashgabat, Trend reports via Turkmen media.
Taking into account the great interest shown by foreign
companies and leading financial institutions in expanding mutually
beneficial cooperation with Turkmenistan, the forum will be held

Turkmenistan ranks among the world's top countries in terms of
natural oil and gas reserves. Its gas reserves have increased by
126 billion cubic meters as a result of the industrial development
of recently discovered gas fields.
The country pays great attention to the creation of oil and gas
processing plants, as well as the export of energy resources to
global markets. Recently Turkmenistan has allocated more than 138
million to increase its oil and natural gas production.
Turkmenistan produced 83.77 billion cubic meters of natural gas
in 2021, the highest volume in 30 years.
In the first month of 2022, Turkmenistan exceeded its natural
gas production target by 5 percent. The country exceeded its oil
production target by 0.4 percent during the reporting period, while
increasing processing by 8.3 percent.
