As reported, at present, the extraction of "black gold" is mainly carried out at the deposits of the Balkan zone of western Turkmenistan. Turkmengeology plans to conduct additional seismic studies in this oil and gas region, including in the eastern part of the Goturdepe field using the 3D method, as well as at the South Burun site using the 2D method.

Summarizing the report, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted the need to further increase the production and processing of oil and natural gas, the production of various petrochemical products in demand within the country and on world markets, as well as expanding its range. In this context, an important task is to systematically strengthen the resource base of the oil and gas industry by identifying new promising fields and structures.
