Turkmenistan's state media issued the reports as international competition for access to that former Soviet republic's oil and natural-gas resources intensifies.
Berdymukhamedov met with Chevron executives on May 3 in Ashgabat.
He is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbaev on May 11.
Putin said in April that Moscow hopes to work on energy projects with Turkmenistan.
