TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, February 2. Uzbekneftegaz
is casting its net to secure cutting-edge drilling rigs from China
to bolster its upstream operations, Trend reports via the company.
As part of this effort, a working group currently on a business
trip to China is reviewing advanced drilling solutions offered by
leading manufacturers. The initiative aims to accelerate geological
exploration, reduce well construction timelines, and enhance
production efficiency.
During the visit, Uzbekneftegaz specialists toured major Chinese
plants producing modern drilling equipment. The first site was CNPC
Baoji Oilfield Machinery, which specializes in the manufacture of
drilling rigs and key components for the oil and gas industry. The
delegation reviewed the plant’s production capacity, quality
control systems, and innovative technological solutions.
The working group also visited RJ Petro-Machinery, where it
examined drilling equipment, auxiliary units, and available
maintenance and servicing capabilities.
Meanwhile, under ongoing reforms at Uzbekneftegaz, a significant
share of investments will be directed toward accelerating
geological exploration and exploratory drilling. Large-scale
drilling operations are planned across Uzbekistan this year to
expand oil and gas reserves, with particular emphasis on the use of
modern, high-efficiency technologies.
