Energy Security and Sustainable Development: Registration Starts for "OGT 2026" International Conference
Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan, will once again become a central hub for the global energy community. Registration has officially opened for those wishing to participate in the 31st International Conference and Exhibition "Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan – OGT 2026," which will be held from October 21 to 23, 2026.
This forum is organized under the profound motto "Energy. Cooperation. Development." The conference will bring together world-leading energy experts, heads of multinational companies, international investors, and providers of cutting-edge technologies. The primary goal is to identify new directions for energy cooperation within the Eurasian region and on a global scale.
Building on the successful experience of 2025, this forum continues to expand its scope. As a reminder, last year’s event was attended by more than 1,400 delegates from 70 countries, proving the high prestige of the OGT platform in the region.
A special place on the conference agenda will be given to the development of the "Galkynysh" field, one of the world's largest onshore gas fields. The launch of the fourth stage of development for this field further strengthens Turkmenistan's position in the global energy market.
With the implementation of the new stage:
- An additional 10 billion cubic meters of commercial gas will be produced annually.
- New opportunities will open for international investors.
- Regional and global energy security will be strengthened.
Furthermore, the 20-year strategic partnership between Turkmenistan and China and the 30-year productive operation of "PETRONAS" in the country are clear examples confirming Turkmenistan's image as a reliable partner.
"OGT 2026" will discuss not only raw material resources but also the digital future of the energy system. During the forum, special attention will be paid to the following areas:
- Automation of production processes.
- Technologies for reducing methane emissions and carbon capture.
- Development of new energy sources.
- New routes for delivering Turkmenistan's energy resources to world markets, including the TAPI project.
The conference will provide extensive opportunities not only for scientific and technical discussions but also for establishing direct business relations. High-level plenary sessions, B2B (Business-to-Business), and B2G (Business-to-Government) meetings will serve as a launchpad for concluding new contracts.
Registration for the conference is currently ongoing. All interested parties and specialists can visit the official "OGT 2026" website to register and obtain additional information.
