TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, May 15. A pivotal meeting unfolded between Uzbekneftegaz and the US energy technology giant Baker Hughes to chew the fat about their blossoming partnership in deep drilling and shine a light on their recent successes, Trend reports.
The meeting was held as part of the 27th International Exhibition "Oil and Gas of Uzbekistan – OGU 2025" and the Uzbekistan International Energy Forum.
The partnership between Uzbekneftegaz and Baker Hughes has yielded notable successes in deep drilling. Most notably, high-tech drill bits were tested with great success at wells in the challenging geological conditions of the Ustyurt region, achieving a record-breaking 437 meters drilled in a single run—setting a new regional benchmark.
Currently, the two companies are working together on 17 wells. A standout achievement includes the drilling of well No. 15 at the Northern Berdakh field and well No. 2 at the Kuyi Shege field, both reaching depths of 5,000 meters using cutting-edge technology. Furthermore, the drilling at well №8 of the Western Kuyi Surgil field was completed in just 65 days.
Anticipating future developments, these state-of-the-art
technologies are poised for deployment in initiatives within the
Bukhara-Khiva and Surkhandarya territories. Specifically, the
geological formations at Termiz, Namozboy, and Buzakhur are
currently under evaluation as potential high-yield ventures for
future development.
This convening signifies a critical juncture in optimizing drilling
efficacy, streamlining technological methodologies, and propelling
the sustained advancement of Uzbekistan’s hydrocarbon sector.
