This was announced by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He also added that a "new era" is dawning for Turkey. This discovery is very important from the point of view of the energy independence of our country.
“Until that time, we were completely dependent on energy supplies from abroad, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on this.
Our drilling vessel Fatih has discovered 320 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the Black Sea.
We carried out this operation entirely at the expense of national funds, now our goal is to start gas production in 2023.
We will immediately start drilling wells, and then we will determine the concept of production and move on to construction and installation work,” the President noted.
