After hearing the report, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov emphasized the need for a more efficient implementation of the potential available in the oil and gas industry. It is necessary to optimally use the capabilities of the processing sector in order to expand the range of high-quality competitive products made from hydrocarbon raw materials that are in demand in the domestic and foreign markets, the leader of the nation noted.
It is necessary to more actively attract investments to the fuel and energy complex, increase the pace of development of promising oil and gas fields in the Caspian, and also keep under strict control the construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline, the head of state emphasized.
Focusing on the need to continue coordinated work in these areas, the President noted that in order to further modernize the infrastructure of the industry, including its processing segment, new enterprises should be built.
