In Turkmenistan, a new flow of natural gas with a daily flow rate of 2 million cubic meters was obtained at another well of the Galkynysh gas field. The gas flow comes from a depth of 4412-4136 meters at well No. 285, drilled to a total depth of 4452 meters.
The Galkynysh gas field, which is considered super-giant in terms of reserves, is today one of the reliable sources of "blue fuel", which makes it possible to increase the volume of hydrocarbon production, diversify gas exports, and create reliable systems for transporting energy resources to international markets. This ensures the status of Turkmenistan as a powerful energy power in the international arena, one of the leading countries in the world in terms of natural gas reserves. Currently, gas from the Galkynysh field is supplied to the domestic market and exported to China via the Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan-China gas pipeline. This field has also been identified as a resource base for supplies via the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline, which is currently under construction.
The independent British company Gafney, Cline & Associates estimates the reserves of the Galkynyş field at more than 27 trillion cubic meters of gas, which puts it in second place in the world after the South Pars field.
Currently, the industrial development of the Galkynysh field is being carried out at an intensive pace. Three gas processing complexes with a total capacity of 30 billion cubic meters of "blue fuel" per year were previously commissioned here. At the moment, there are several dozen wells in the field's operating fund, the flow rate of each is on average two million cubic meters of gas per day. According to calculations by the State Concern "Turkmengas", at this stage of exploration of the "Galkynysh" field, 7 stages of its industrial development are envisaged with a total production of about 200 billion cubic meters of gas per year. In accordance with the state energy strategy, comprehensive measures are being taken to search for and develop new hydrocarbon deposits, further increase the production of "blue" fuel, strengthen the material and technical base of gas industry enterprises, and implement large infrastructure projects to diversify natural gas exports.
