A key focus on the conference agenda will be the further development of the supergiant Galkynyş gas field, one of the largest in the world.

The 2026 program will address key energy sector development priorities, including the phased development of the Galkynyş field, the implementation of the TAPI gas pipeline project, the development of offshore blocks in the Turkmen sector of the Caspian Sea, and the modernization of production, processing, and transportation infrastructure.
Particular attention will be paid to the monetization of energy resources, the development of the gas chemical and petrochemical industries, the production of high-value-added products, and the diversification of export routes. The conference agenda will also reflect modern technological trends, including the digital transformation of the industry, the use of artificial intelligence, improved operational efficiency, and the implementation of advanced environmental solutions.
OGT 2026 will serve as a platform for discussing methane emission reduction, energy efficiency improvements, the implementation of carbon capture and storage technologies, and the development of hydrogen energy and renewable energy sources.
