Today is the Day of the Workers of Oil, Gas, Power and Geological Industry in Turkmenistan. This holiday pays tribute to the hardworking individuals who contribute to the development and prosperity of Turkmenistan’s oil, gas, power, and geological industries. It is a time of great pride and celebration as the country recognizes the pivotal role these workers play in shaping its economy and future.
On this day, the streets of Turkmenistan come alive with colorful parades, traditional dances, and impressive displays of the latest technology and advancements in the energy sector. It is a perfect opportunity for travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture and witness the impressive strides made by the country in this field.
The oil and gas industries are very important to the Turkmenistan economy. As of May 2011, the Galkynysh Gas Field was estimated to possess the second-largest volume of gas in the world. Turkmenistan is home of the Darvaza Gas Crater (shown below) located in the Karakum Desert which has been burning since the 1980s.

Today is the birthday, in 1946, of Jane Birkin, English actress, singer, and songwriter who had the 1969 UK No.1 single with Serge Gainsbourg ‘Je t’aime…Moi non plus’, the only French language UK chart- topper. She is also known as being the namesake of the popular Hermès Birkin bag. Birkin was found dead at her home in Paris on 16 July 2023, age 76. I have no idea why this song was so popular – maybe you can figure it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahHWxwajQL0
