According to the Turkey’s presidency, Turkey is poised to announce the discovery of a new gas field in the eastern Mediterranean.
PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN PROMISED TO DELIVER GOOD NEWS
The announcement came after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said he would be announcing “good news” on Friday which will open a new period in Turkey.
President Erdoğan said at the opening of a solar power plant in Ankara on Aug. 19 that no threats can deter Turkey from seeking natural resources in the eastern Mediterranean.
Turkey has been exploring and drilling for energy resources in parts of the Black Sea region and eastern Mediterranean. A Turkish seismic ship has started conducting research on gas hydrate resources in the Black Sea on Aug. 12.
With the project, it is aimed to determine the amount of gas hydrates known to exist in wide areas in the Black Sea, the gas volume they contain, the geochemical composition of the gas, and to find the most suitable gas production model.
