Against the backdrop of high utilization of existing fields, Uzbekistan faces the risk of further reduction in domestic gas production. Stabilizing production through new deposits can reduce pressure on the energy system and reduce dependence on emergency measures during peak consumption periods.  <\/p>\n<h3>What happened<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In 2026, Uzbekistan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/E0mTL1ej6sQ\">plans<\/a> to halt the decline in natural gas production by launching new fields.<\/li>\n<li>According to him, the authorities expect to stabilize the situation with gas production through the results of geological exploration and the connection of new wells.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Numbers and facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>About 85% of Uzbekistan&#8217;s gas fields are exploited, which leads to a sharp decrease in natural gas production rates.<\/li>\n<li>On the instructions of the President, additional funds and resources were allocated for geological exploration.<\/li>\n<li>A new field has been discovered in the Muynak district of Karakalpakstan, where two wells are connected, producing 3 million cubic meters of gas daily.<\/li>\n<li>By the end of this year, it is planned to complete drilling and connect another seven wells.<\/li>\n<li>Geological exploration work has begun with the Azerbaijani company SOCAR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"diff\">Context<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The authorities are counting not on an increase in production, but on the cessation of its sharp decline due to the commissioning of new deposits and wells.<\/li>\n<li>New geological exploration projects are becoming a key tool for compensating for the depletion of existing gas assets.<\/li>\n<li>Cooperation with foreign companies, including SOCAR, indicates the search for technological and investment support to stabilize the gas industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this purpose, new wells are being connected and geological exploration work is being carried out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":14016,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sharing_image":{"poster":"https:\/\/frank.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/694150a60d066.jpg","width":1200,"height":630,"template":"2bf59057","mode":"auto"},"_sharing_image_fieldset":{"Dv78f24rp1hU":14016,"YlB8HH34jIzY":"Uzbekistan intends to stop reducing gas production in 2026"},"pin_until":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[2218,2644],"class_list":["post-14027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-energy","tag-gas-production"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Uzbekistan intends to stop reducing gas production in 2026 &#8212;
