Oil and gas industry preparations for the autumn-winter season reviewedPresident Shavkat Mirziyoyev was briefed on the progress of preparations in the oil and gas industry ahead of the upcoming autumn-winter season.
Comprehensive measures to ensure a stable supply of energy resources to the population, social facilities, and economic sectors during the 2026-2027 autumn-winter period were reviewed. The Head of State outlined specific tasks for the supply of natural and liquefied gas, the repair of main and regional gas networks, the buildup of fuel reserves, and the readiness of emergency repair crews.
Particular attention was paid to preparing the gas supply system for the season. In particular, before the onset of the cold season, 53.7 kilometers of defective sections of main gas pipelines are planned for replacement, and 77 gas pumping units at compressor stations will undergo major repairs.
Furthermore, to improve gas supply to 220,000 households across 881 mahallas and reduce technical losses, the gas distribution system will be converted from a three-stage to a two-stage scheme. A total of 711.9 kilometers of gas networks and 400 gas distribution points will be overhauled and reconstructed.
The issue of supplying the population and social facilities with liquefied gas was also considered. During the autumn-winter period, 325,700 tons of liquefied gas are planned for supply, including 8,200 to 104,700 consumers in 229 remote settlements.
Measures are also underway to build up fuel reserves for the autumn-winter period. In particular, a reserve of 120,000 tons of motor gasoline is planned for December and January. Throughout the heating season, 4,161,000 tons of coal are projected to be supplied to thermal power plants.
To ensure the technological stability of JSC Uzbekneftegaz enterprises, repair work will be carried out on 90 process units. This will ensure the uninterrupted operation of production facilities and a stable supply of energy resources to the population and the economy.
It was noted that preparations should not be limited to the oil and gas industry but should be carried out in close coordination with the energy and utility sectors. To this end, the responsible officials were instructed to organize the work of the republican and territorial commissions and to establish continuous monitoring of preparations for the autumn-winter season.
The responsible officials were instructed to ensure strict oversight of the implementation of the planned measures, the timely and high-quality completion of preparations for the autumn-winter season, and the stable supply of natural gas, liquefied gas, and other fuel resources to the population and social facilities.
