The natural gas pipeline in the hinterland of Central Asia is waiting for the strong heart of China. From the coast of the Yellow Sea to the edge of the Aral Sea, Shandong Haomai's compressors roar, injecting Chinese made deep well power into Uzbekistan's energy bloodline, allowing the production capacity cooperation between the two countries to take root in the Gobi oil region.

Recently, Shandong Himile Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. held talks with Uzbekneftegaz to discuss the joint implementation of the project and the supply of compressor equipment. Uzbekneftegaz introduced that the two sides communicated about the progress of ongoing projects, equipment delivery arrangements, and future cooperation expansion directions, with a focus on discussing the supply of compressor equipment for the wellhead compressor stations of large-scale oil and gas facilities in Mubarak and Gazli.
