Alkagesta took part in the second Annual Central Asia Oil & Gas Forum in Tashkent on 15 and 16 October, according to an account published by the company. Javid Guliyev, its CIS Regional Trader, represented the business during the two-day event. This brief is based on first-party material from Alkagesta, a Terminal & Storage Intelligence network partner.
The company described the 2026 programme as focused on strengthening energy cooperation within Central Asia and improving the operation of regional supply chains. Participants included energy industry executives, policymakers and investors. Discussions addressed changes in the region’s logistics and regulatory environment, alongside its increasing importance to international energy security, according to Alkagesta’s summary of the gathering.
Cross-border trade routes and logistics infrastructure were among the subjects on the agenda, together with refining capacity and access to markets. The programme also covered regional oil and gas resources and production approaches. Those topics placed the movement and availability of energy supplies alongside upstream development in the forum’s discussion of Central Asia’s energy sector, rather than treating production as a stand-alone issue.
Investment, risk management and the development of public-private partnerships across Central Asia formed another part of the programme. Alkagesta presented the event as an opportunity to discuss both the prospects and difficulties associated with changing trade corridors and the region’s broader participation in global supply chains. Its account did not identify particular infrastructure projects, investment commitments or commercial agreements resulting from the discussions.
For Alkagesta, attendance underlined Central Asia’s importance to its wider regional business. The company said it maintains an active presence in CIS markets and operates a petroleum-products trading platform covering approximately 48 countries. It linked its participation to that existing footprint, positioning the forum as a venue for regional dialogue rather than announcing a new trading operation or logistics development.
