Turkmenistan appoints Seydi oil refinery director
Feb. 23, 2022
Turkmenistan has appointed Khydyrov Azat Yazmyradovich as director of the Seydi oil refinery of the Turkmenbashi complex of oil refineries.
The resolution was signed by President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, according to local media.
The Seydi project has mechanically completed, and startup is scheduled this year, but no additional details were available.
