In the lead-up to one of the region’s most prestigious energy forums, the Organizing Committee of the 30th International Conference and Exhibition "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan – 2025" (OGT 2025) has announced that China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) will serve as the Platinum Sponsor of the anniversary event to be held from October 22 to 24, 2025, in Ashgabat.
CNPC began its operations in Turkmenistan in 2002, investing in the oil and gas sector and providing engineering and technical services.
In 2007, CNPC and the State Concern “Türkmengaz” signed a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) for the “Bagtyýarlyk” contractual territory, along with a long-term contract for the supply of natural gas. That same year, the company began industrial development of fields on the right bank of the Amu Darya River.
The “Bagtyýarlyk” contractual territory includes the Samandepe, Altyn Asyr, and other fields, which have become a key source of Turkmen gas supplies through the Turkmenistan–China pipeline.
According to media reports, CNPC’s total investment in the project has exceeded USD 9.4 billion.
In 2024–2025, CNPC continues to actively contribute to the development of Turkmenistan’s gas industry, focusing on modernizing production facilities — including the expansion of the GPP-2 gas processing plant in the “Bagtyýarlyk” contractual area, repair and maintenance of compressor rotors, and optimization of production processes to improve reliability and throughput of the facilities.
These initiatives reflect CNPC’s commitment to supporting the modernization of Turkmenistan’s energy infrastructure and strengthening its technological foundation.
According to its corporate strategy, CNPC adheres to the principles of “clean alternatives, strategic replacement, and green development,” with the goal of achieving near-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
The company is actively implementing digital and innovative solutions, developing renewable energy projects, and improving the environmental standards of its operations.
These goals align with the theme of OGT 2025 — “Energy. Innovation. Development.” — highlighting the shared approach of Turkmenistan and CNPC toward sustainable development and technological progress.
By acting as the Platinum Sponsor of OGT 2025, CNPC reaffirms its long-term commitment to the development of Turkmenistan’s energy sector.
The company’s participation strengthens the international status of the forum and promotes the exchange of expertise among global and regional energy industry leaders.
