Given the fact that it has natural gas as its source of energy. Why can’t it simply by any method be used to produce energy?

You probably could, in as much as you could harness energy from any hot thing by building a steam boiler on top of it.
I can’t find any data of how much energy it is outputting, but frankly I doubt that it is enough to make it worthwhile especially since it’s in the middle of a desert, far away from any populated place that could actually use the energy. It would make much more sense to extinguish the crater and exploit the natural gas field in the traditional way, which as of 2022 is exactly what the Turkmen government plans to do.
