TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, December 12. Uzbekistan
has obtained a high-pressure commercial inflow of natural gas from
exploratory well No. 2 in the Muynak district of the Republic of
Karakalpakstan, Trend
reports via the Ministry of Energy.
The borehole, engineered to a stratigraphic depth of 5,000
meters, was executed within a 90-day timeframe utilizing
state-of-the-art international apparatus and by proficient
indigenous professionals. The current output stands at 2.4 million
cubic meters of natural gas on a daily basis.
Concurrently, continuous drilling activities are being executed
24/7 at various high-potential subsurface wells within the region.
Anticipated outcomes indicate that these wells will yield
elevated-pressure natural gas production by year-end.
From January through September 2025, Uzbekistan produced 32.2
billion cubic meters of natural gas. This represents a 4.5 percent
decline compared to the same period of 2024, when output reached
33.7 billion cubic meters.
The Muynak district, situated within the jurisdiction of the
Karakalpakstan Autonomous Republic in Uzbekistan, Central Asia,
historically functioned as a port city adjacent to the Aral Sea.
The administrative epicenter is the municipality of Moynaq, which
has a historical legacy tied to its aquatic commerce prior to the
significant regression of the marine body.
