ASHGABAT – Turkmenistan continues to implement strategic energy projects that are shaping the region’s future, backed by a stable investment climate, strong legal guarantees, and active engagement in ensuring regional and global energy security.
Turkmenistan is set to position itself at the forefront of the global energy transition with the upcoming OGT 2025 Conference. The event promises to spotlight groundbreaking initiatives in renewable energy and green hydrogen, foster strategic international partnerships, and showcase the country’s commitment to environmental sustainability and investment transparency. Serving as a dynamic platform for innovation and collaboration, OGT 2025 will not only highlight Turkmenistan’s evolving energy landscape but also its ambition to attract foreign investment and expand global market opportunities.
Int the same time, the preparations are in full swing for the 30th Anniversary International Conference and Exhibition “Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan – 2025” (OGT 2025), which will take place on October 22–24 in Ashgabat. Over 100 delegates have already confirmed their attendance, with strong interest from global energy companies, financial institutions, and regional policy organizations.
Held under the theme “Energy. Innovation. Growth,” this year’s OGT marks a turning point in the region’s energy trajectory, placing an equal emphasis on Turkmenistan’s proven hydrocarbon capacity and its growing commitment to clean energy.
30 Years of Energy Leadership
Over the past three decades, the OGT Conference and Exhibition has established itself as a premier platform uniting leading national and international energy companies, investors, government officials, and technical experts—facilitating dialogue and cooperation across Central Asia’s energy sector.
Held under the motto “Energy. Innovation. Growth,” OGT 2025 will bring together delegates from more than 60 countries and focus on the following key themes:

- Showcasing investment opportunities in Turkmenistan’s oil and gas sector;
- Analyzing global trends in energy transition and decarbonization;
- Addressing environmental aspects of hydrocarbon field development;
- Highlighting the growing role of artificial intelligence in hydrocarbon production.
Amid the accelerating global shift to low-carbon energy, Turkmenistan is actively diversifying its energy strategy. The country offers wide-ranging opportunities for international investors—from the next stages of Galkynysh field development (one of the largest onshore gas fields in the world) to solar and wind energy projects.
International investors and experts will receive up-to-date insights and in-depth analysis on:
