Turkmenistan plans to maintain natural gas production at 80 billion cubic metres in 2025. This was announced by Maksat Babayev, Chairman of the State Concern ‘Türkmengaz’, at a press conference following the OGT 2025 international conference and exhibition held in Ashgabat, according to the news website Turkmenportal.

‘This year's gas production level is 80 billion cubic metres, and we are also planning production in this range for next year,’ said M. Babayev.

He stressed that in the medium term, the country plans to gradually increase production. In particular, next year will see the start of the fourth phase of development of Turkmenistan's largest field, ‘Galkynysh’, which is expected to produce an additional 10 billion cubic metres of gas annually. The project will be implemented by the Chinese company CNPC, which won the international tender.

In the first half of 2025, Turkmenistan produced about 39 billion cubic metres of gas, while at the end of 2024, total production exceeded 77 billion cubic metres.
