The wind in Tashkent blows through the Gobi Desert, but in Sichuan, China, thousands of miles away, a "consultation" about thousands of meters underground is underway intensively. Abdulgany Sanginov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Uzbekistan National Oil and Gas Company, led a delegation to visit, with the first stop heading straight to China Petroleum Group Chuanqing Drilling Engineering Co., Ltd. This is not just a routine business negotiation, but more like a deep conversation between old friends about technological innovation.

As an important energy partner in Central Asia, the handshake between Chuanqing Drilling and Ukraine has gone beyond simple resource trading. Faced with the digital wave of the global energy industry, both sides are sitting down this time to equip Uzbekistan's oil and gas industry with a "Chinese brain".

Deepen strategic partnerships

At the meeting table, the management of both sides laid out a blueprint for cooperation. From the long-term development of strategic partnerships to the specific implementation of existing joint projects, every detail has been carefully sorted out. In response to the highly anticipated M-25 oil field, both parties have developed detailed contingency plans for unexpected situations, and have conducted in-depth consultations on optimizing technical solutions and coordinating on-site organization. In order to ensure that the project progresses according to the established plan, both parties reiterated their commitment to strictly fulfill their financial obligations under the existing agreement, clearing obstacles for the project's implementation and demonstrating the pragmatic style of China Ukraine cooperation.

Injecting new intelligent power

When traditional drilling meets modern technology, change is happening. In this exchange, Chuanqing Drilling showcased a complete digital technology system to the Ukrainian delegation. The automated drilling system is like installing a "smart hand" on the drilling rig, which can accurately control the direction of the underground drill bit; The real-time production monitoring and management platform is like a "thousand mile eye", allowing engineers in Chengdu to instantly grasp the pulse of oil fields thousands of miles away. In addition, with regard to industrial safety supervision and labor discipline management, the intelligent technology brought by Chuanqing Drilling will significantly improve the safety factor and operational efficiency of local oil and gas production, which is exactly the "good medicine" urgently needed for Uzbekistan's industrial upgrading.

Expand the New Map of Central Asia

As a specialized powerhouse under China National Petroleum Corporation, Chuanqing Drilling's recent visit is also a microcosm of Chinese companies' deep cultivation in the Central Asian market. With the deepening of the the Belt and Road Initiative, the logic of China Uzbekistan oil and gas cooperation is quietly changing. The cooperation content has gradually shifted from traditional resource development to technology output, equipment upgrading, and industrial collaboration. This transformation not only consolidates the long-term layout of Chinese enterprises in the Central Asian energy market, but also opens up new space for the sustainable development of Uzbekistan's energy industry. In the future, relying on technological advantages, China's wisdom will play an increasingly important role in the energy map of Central Asia.Editor/Yang Meiling
