A new stage may begin in the efforts to eliminate the consequences of the accident at the M-25 field. Drilling relief wells is planned within the framework of the project. This issue was specifically discussed at a meeting between the heads of Uzbekneftegaz and the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC).

Negotiations were held between the delegation led by Abdugani Sanginov, Chairman of the Board of Uzbekneftegaz JSC, and Zhou Xinhuai, President of CNPC.

One of the main topics of the meeting was the elimination of the consequences of the accident at the M-25 field. It was reported that drilling relief wells is planned within the framework of the project.

The utilization of the technological and technical capabilities of CNPC-affiliated companies in this direction is also of significant importance.

The negotiations also covered the acceleration of joint projects in the oil and gas sector, drilling, geological exploration and seismic surveys, increasing the gas recovery efficiency of fields, and the digitalization of the industry.

The parties also exchanged views on diversifying oil product supply sources to ensure a stable fuel supply to the domestic market and developing long-term supply mechanisms.

Furthermore, the establishment of a permanent CNPC representative office in Tashkent, the coordination of joint projects, and the training of highly qualified personnel for the oil and gas sector were considered.

At the end of the meeting, the parties expressed their readiness to accelerate other joint projects in the oil and gas sector, alongside eliminating the consequences of the accident at the M-25 field.
