Gas Congress of Turkmenistan and International Exhibition Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan (OGT), which gather top managers of big profile companies and transnational holdings, scientific and research community, academic and financial institutes to representative delegations, became such competent discussion grounds. IX International Gas Congress was held in Avaza in May 2018. New vectors of development and interstate cooperation in gas spheres have been outlined, plans for cooperation in nearest future in diversification of energy supplies, national and regional gas transport infrastructure and training of qualified personnel have been coordinated at the Congress. High interest to the Congress was raised mainly by the fact that cost of gas in the structure of the world consumption of the hydrocarbons is growing, therefore, the intent of the leading companies of the planet to establish close cooperation in gas sphere with our country is logical taking into account that modern Turkmenistan confidently stated of itself as one of perspective partners among biggest suppliers of energy carriers to the world markets. It is remarkable that number of local private companies expanding the geography of their activity in the region participating in the forum as sponsors is growing every year. Representatives of European Union, USA, UAE, Japan, China, the Republic of Korea, Turkey, India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, CIS countries and other states participated in the IX Turkmenistan Gas Congress.

President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov took part in opening ceremonies of both industrial giants. It was planned to build another similar complex for production of polypropylene, low-density linear polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, caustic soda, sulphuric acid and liquid chlorine next to existing facilities. Plant for production of high quality gasoline from natural gas is under completion in Ovadandepe, Ahal Velayat. Reconstruction of the unit for processing of natural gas and production of liquefied gas in Bagaja deposit in Lebap Velayat is among new investment projects. It is planned to build petrochemical complex with production output of 80,000 tons of Butadiene Styrene rubber and 45,000 tons of polystyrene per year on the base of the complex.
