en.Wedoany.com Reported - The ROSEN Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Committee for Industrial, Radiation and Nuclear Safety of Uzbekistan, aiming to enhance the safety of the country's oil and gas and related industrial infrastructure. The memorandum establishes a structured framework for bilateral cooperation, focusing on technical dialogue, knowledge exchange, consulting, and advisory support. The objectives are to strengthen industrial safety, enhance regulatory capabilities, improve risk management, and promote the adoption of internationally recognized asset integrity management best practices in Uzbekistan's oil and gas and industrial infrastructure.
At the signing ceremony, Isokjonov Ahadkhan Ikromjonovich, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Industrial, Radiation and Nuclear Safety of the Republic of Uzbekistan, stated: "Cooperation with ROSEN is an important step in strengthening Uzbekistan's industrial and oil and gas safety framework. By drawing on international expertise and experience, we aim to enhance regulatory oversight, build national technical capacity, and ensure that infrastructure development supports sustainable growth and public safety for future generations." He also noted that systematically reviewing international best practices and adapting them to the national context is a priority for the continuous development of the industrial safety framework. The long-term goal of the cooperation is to protect critical assets, safeguard public and environmental safety, and ensure reliable and secure energy supply, aligned with national development priorities.
From ROSEN's perspective, this memorandum reflects a shared vision of working closely with national regulatory bodies to strengthen infrastructure integrity. Hernando Caceres, Senior Vice President of ROSEN, emphasized: "This Memorandum of Understanding reflects our shared commitment to safety, transparency, and technical excellence. By working closely with the Committee for Industrial, Radiation and Nuclear Safety, we aim to support Uzbekistan in studying and potentially adapting proven integrity and inspection practices to fully align with local regulatory needs and long-term national priorities. Effective infrastructure integrity is the foundation of public safety and energy security."
Uzbekistan is continuously advancing the modernization and expansion of its energy and industrial infrastructure. Against this backdrop, the Committee for Industrial, Radiation and Nuclear Safety seeks to further strengthen its regulatory functions by incorporating global experience and advanced technical methodologies, while ensuring that national regulatory, operational, and safety requirements remain central in implementation. Feruza Tatibaeva, Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the Republic of Uzbekistan, who witnessed the signing ceremony, stated: "The signing of this memorandum clearly demonstrates how international expertise and trusted partnerships can support the modernization and resilience enhancement of critical oil and gas infrastructure." The signing ceremony took place during the 2026 Uzbekistan Oil and Gas Exhibition.
The ROSEN Group was chosen as a partner due to its long-standing collaboration with global regulators and operators, its comprehensive technical expertise in asset and pipeline integrity, and its deep regional experience and understanding of local operations in Central Asia. The cooperation also includes pilot projects aimed at demonstrating how modern risk-based inspection methods can be applied as an alternative to traditional inspection approaches, provided they fully comply with regulatory requirements in appropriate scenarios.
