The State Concern “Turkmengaz” and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of the third stage of the “Galkynysh” gas field.
The “Galkynysh” deposit is at the stage of pilot operation. The current production at the field is 20 bcm per year with a design of 30 bcm. In total, there are seven stages of development, each with an increase in gas production in the amount of 30 bcm/year.
“Turkmengaz” and ADNOC also signed a Memorandum of Intent to explore potential opportunities for scientific, technical and economic cooperation in the field of reducing methane emissions into the atmosphere.
“Turkmenneft” and “Dragon Oil” (Turkmenistan) Ltd. signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
“Dragon Oil,” whose head office is located in Dubai (UAE), has been operating in Turkmenistan since 2000 on the basis of a production sharing agreement. The main area of its activity is the production of hydrocarbons in the “Cheleken” contractual territory in the Caspian Sea. Over the years, the company has invested heavily in the exploration and development of deposits, in particular, “Jeytun” and “Jigalybek.”
Among the priorities of the oil and gas industry of Turkmenistan is to increase the volume of production and refining of oil and natural gas, the growth of exports of Turkmen energy carriers and finished oil and gas chemical products, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov stressed at a meeting in Dubai with the chairman of the Board of Directors of “Dragon Oil,” Syed Al Thayer . --0--

The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP AG) consortium has developed a roadmap for preparing to transport hydrogen, according to TAP AG. “TAP’s goal is to develop infrastructure for hydrogen transportation. We have defined a roadmap for preparing for the medium- and long-term transportation of natural gas and hydrogen blends, as well as renewable gases. A preliminary study in 2021 confirmed the potential of TAP for transporting hydrogen mixtures in the future. Currently, we are conducting pipeline material tests at an international laboratory. The results of the first tests were received in the fourth quarter of 2024 and are now under evaluation. The next round of tests has already begun, and results are expected in 2025,” said the consortium.
