The final day of the landmark forum was devoted to key strategic topics: underground gas storage (UGS), liquefied natural gas (LNG), CO₂ capture and use technologies, and the role of innovation and human capital in Turkmenistan's sustainable energy transition.
Gurbangeldy Garlyev, Chairman of the State Corporation "Turkmengeology," delivered a presentation on CO₂ capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. He emphasized that these technologies are becoming one of the most effective tools in the fight against climate change.
According to Garlyev, the integration of CCUS with renewable energy and hydrogen technologies lays the foundation for sustainable industrial and energy growth in Turkmenistan.
Phil Gibbons, Senior Petrophysics Consultant at GaffneyCline Energy Advisory, presented the results of the company's assessment of the Ojak underground gas storage (UGS) project. He noted that this project represents a critical step in increasing Turkmenistan's energy resilience and LNG export flexibility. A simulation model based on decades of production data confirms that the reservoir is capable of sustaining a seasonal injection/withdrawal cycle of up to 5 billion cubic meters of working gas.
GaffneyCline's technical recommendations, including the use of highly deviated and horizontal wells, improved injection and withdrawal efficiency, reduced capital expenditures, and accelerated the project's implementation timeline. He added that the underground gas storage facility at the Ojak field is not only a technical asset but also a strategic tool for achieving Turkmenistan's goals of energy independence and export competitiveness.
