ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, May 8. Turkmenistan
plans to build a hydrogen gas purification and concentration
complex at the Seydi oil refinery, Trend reports via Turkmennebit State
Concern.
The project is included in the country’s 2026 socio-economic
development and investment program.
In addition, construction will continue at the refinery’s water
intake pumping station for the water supply and sewage treatment
unit, which is designed to handle up to 145,920 cubic meters of
water per day.
Situated in Lebap Province, the Seydi Oil Refinery remains one
of Turkmenistan’s oldest and most strategically significant
downstream assets. Established in the early 1970s alongside the
development of the city of Seydi, the refinery continues to play a
pivotal role in the nation’s refining capabilities and fuel
supply.
In the first half of 2025, the refinery processed 269,400 tons
of crude oil, representing a 21.7% increase relative to the same
period in the previous year. This expansion supported higher
production of gasoline, diesel, and bitumen, with reports
indicating a concurrent upward trend in liquefied hydrocarbon gas
output during the same period.
