BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 18. Uzbekistan’s state
energy company Uzbekneftegaz and China’s IMBSU Steel Industry
signed an agreement on the supply of pipe products.
This was reflected in the statement by the Uzbekneftegaz.
"This document is aimed at supplying production and
infrastructure projects in the oil and gas sector with high-quality
pipe products, strengthening technological stability in the
industry, and increasing the efficiency of production processes."
the Uzbekneftgaz noted.
According to the parties, negotiations on technical and
commercial terms were held earlier in May, during which the main
conditions of the contract were agreed upon.
Under the agreement, the Chinese company will supply pipe
products that meet modern industry standards, while also
cooperating on quality control measures and ensuring timely
delivery for ongoing projects.
The agreement, signed during the Tashkent International
Investment Forum, is expected to play an important role in
supporting Uzbekneftegaz’s large-scale investment and production
programs, securing stable material and technical resources,
expanding international cooperation, and further developing the
country’s energy infrastructure.
The agreement reflects Uzbekistan’s continued efforts to secure
stable industrial supply chains for its expanding oil and gas
infrastructure. By partnering with established Chinese
manufacturers, Uzbekneftegaz aims to reduce supply risks, ensure
consistent project execution, and support ongoing modernization of
its pipeline network.
The deal also underscores the growing role of China in
Uzbekistan’s energy and industrial sectors, where cooperation
increasingly extends beyond financing into materials, technology,
and production standards. At the same time, strengthening reliable
access to pipeline products is seen as an important factor in
maintaining momentum in large-scale infrastructure and upstream
development projects across the country’s energy sector.
