OGT 2025: Turkmenistan’s Energy Forum Gains Global Media Spotlight

As Turkmenistan prepares to host the 30th International Conference and Exhibition “Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan – OGT 2025”, the world’s focus turns to Ashgabat. Marking three decades of energy dialogue and cooperation, this landmark edition — held under the unifying theme “Energy. Innovation. Growth.” — benefits from unprecedented global media coverage and partnerships with leading international outlets, including Euronews, BNE IntelliNews, Newsbase, Interfax, Energy Intelligence, Ain Al-Alam News, Future News Agency (Al-Mustaqbal), Al-Khad Newspaper, and Shams Al-Yum.

Global Coverage and Media Partnerships

Through these strategic partnerships, OGT 2025 will reach a worldwide audience across television, digital, and print platforms — amplifying Turkmenistan’s message of openness, innovation, and investment. Euronews will feature OGT 2025 on its international channel, introducing Turkmenistan’s growing role in the global energy transition and its commitment to clean, sustainable development.

The promotional campaign’s signature film, themed “Energy. Innovation. Growth.”, positions the forum as Eurasia’s premier energy platform where technology, policy, and capital converge.

“From the heart of Eurasia, Turkmenistan opens its doors to global dialogue and investment,” the video declares — a message that captures the cooperative spirit defining OGT for three decades.

Forum of Global Scale

To date, more than 1,400 delegates from 70 countries have confirmed participation — including ministers, CEOs, international experts, and representatives of global organizations such as the United Nations (UN), UNECE, GIZ, and the International Gas Union (IGU).
This milestone edition cements OGT’s position as Eurasia’s most influential energy event, bringing together public and private sectors to turn dialogue into action.

Opening Plenary: Peace, Trust & Investment

The Opening Plenary Session, titled “Shaping the Future of Global Energy in the International Year of Peace and Trust,” will feature a distinguished line-up including:

H.E. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, CEO of DEWA and Chairman of ENOC Group

Jurabek Mirzamakhmudov, Minister of Energy of Uzbekistan

Andrea Stegher, President of the International Gas Union (IGU)

Dr. Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman, S&P Global and Chairman of CERAWeek

Senior executives from SOCAR, BOTAŞ, ADNOC XRG, and PETRONAS

Their discussions will explore global energy security, technological innovation, and new investment opportunities in Turkmenistan’s oil and gas sector, highlighting how regional cooperation can accelerate sustainable growth.

Sustainability and the Methane Reduction Agenda

Environmental responsibility remains central to the OGT agenda. A high-level session on “Clean Energy Future: Innovation, Renewables, Hydrogen and Methane Reduction” will bring together experts from the UN, UNECE, GIZ, and European institutions to present actionable solutions aligned with the Global Methane Pledge and OGMP 2.0 frameworks.

This year’s programme also includes a Pre-Forum Session with the United Nations, titled “Energy for Peace and Prosperity: Turkmenistan’s Contribution to SDG 7 and the Global Energy Transition,” emphasizing the country’s commitment to affordable and clean energy for all.

These sessions reinforce Turkmenistan’s growing contribution to global climate objectives — bridging energy security, environmental transparency, and low-carbon development.

A Platform for Investment and Partnership

Beyond policy dialogue, OGT 2025 offers a dynamic business programme featuring one-to-one B2B meetings, a dedicated AI-powered matchmaking platform, and an international exhibition hosting over 100 companies — many participating for the first time.
Exhibitors will present advanced technologies across exploration, processing, digitalization, and clean-energy solutions. This vibrant environment transforms OGT into a practical investment marketplace — where technology meets opportunity and partnerships evolve into lasting cooperation.

Thirty Years of Dialogue and Cooperation

Since its inception, the “Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan” conference has evolved from a regional meeting into a global hub of constructive engagement between governments, investors, and innovators. The 30-year milestone not only celebrates a legacy of successful partnerships but also marks Turkmenistan’s confident step toward the future — one driven by innovation, sustainability, and prosperity.

As the Euronews campaign reminds us:

“Energy is at a crossroads — innovation and cooperation are shaping a new era.”
