BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 29. Uzbekistan’s
state-owned oil and gas company Uzbekneftegaz has discussed
potential cooperation with Belarusian companies on equipment
supplies, production modernization and digitalization of industrial
facilities on October 28 in Tashkent.
According to Uzbekneftegaz, the discussions took place at a
meeting involving Farid Muminov, deputy chairman of the board of
Uzbekneftegaz, and Aleksandr Ogorodnikov, Belarus’ ambassador to
Uzbekistan.
According to Uzbekneftegaz, the parties discussed ways to
introduce modern technologies, improve production efficiency and
develop promising joint projects.
Particular attention was given to proposals from Belarusian
companies to supply technological equipment and introduce modern
technical solutions tailored to the operational needs of
Uzbekneftegaz’s production facilities.
Moreover, the meeting addressed opportunities to modernize
production capacity, improve technological processes and deploy
advanced equipment across the company’s operations.
Digitalization was another focus of the discussions. The parties
considered the automation of industrial facilities, the
introduction of monitoring systems and measures to improve
production management efficiency.
They also exchanged views on potential cooperation with
Belarusian manufacturers of industrial equipment and specialized
machinery. To assess the suitability of their products for use at
Uzbekneftegaz facilities, the parties proposed exchanging technical
specifications, product catalogs and commercial offers.
Uzbekistan has made modernization, digitalization and
operational efficiency key priorities in its oil and gas sector as
it seeks to strengthen energy security and maintain stable
production. In January 2026, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev called
for wider adoption of modern technologies, digitalization of
production processes and increased efficiency at Uzbekneftegaz. The
company is also pursuing measures to expand geological exploration,
improve existing fields and introduce advanced technical solutions
in cooperation with international partners.
