Alkagesta joins Tashkent forum focused on Central Asian energy trade

Alkagesta said it took part in the second Annual Central Asia Oil & Gas Forum in Tashkent on 15 and 16 October, as the event examined energy cooperation and supply chains across the region. Javid Guliyev, the company’s CIS regional trader, represented the business during the two-day programme, which brought together energy industry leaders, policymakers and investors.

According to Alkagesta’s account, the 2026 programme focused on strengthening cooperation between regional energy markets and improving the organisation of supply chains. Its agenda covered oil and gas reserves, approaches to production and the infrastructure supporting cross-border trade. Refining capacity and access to markets were also among the topics, alongside investment, risk management and the development of public-private partnerships.

The company presented the forum against a backdrop of changes in Central Asia’s logistics networks and regulatory environment. It also highlighted the region’s growing importance to global energy security. In its description of the event, Alkagesta linked the discussion of regional opportunities and challenges to shifting trade corridors and Central Asia’s expanding involvement in international supply chains.

For Alkagesta, attendance reflected the importance it attaches to Central Asia within its wider regional business. The company said it has an active presence in CIS markets and a petroleum products trading platform covering approximately 48 countries. It cited that operational reach as context for its participation in a forum addressing both energy production and the routes through which supplies reach markets.

The account concentrated on the forum’s agenda and Alkagesta’s representation, rather than specific commercial outcomes. It did not detail any agreements, investments or changes to trading arrangements resulting from the event. The emphasis was on dialogue among industry, government and investment participants about the region’s next stage of energy-market development.
