In 1965-1970 the basis for the design of the Seydi oil refinery was the order (Final Resolution) of the Directorate of the XXIII Congress of the USSR. In 1965, a group was created by the Council of Ministers of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic to determine the location of the plant, and it was decided to build a plant on a fully explored territory, 80 km northwest of Turkmenabad (Chardzhev) on the left bank of the Amu Darya River, 2 km from it. On February 12, 1970, by Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 285, the project of the Charjev oil refinery was approved. The refinery was put into operation on November 2, 1989, and the first oil products were obtained.
