Erdogan Announced New Gas Discovery in Black Sea

Erdogan announced the discovery of new gas in the Black Sea. A new natural gas discovery of 135 billion cubic meters was made in the Amasra -1 well in the Sakarya gas field.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attended the Filyos Port Opening and Groundbreaking Ceremony for Natural Gas Operation Facilities. Speaking here, President Erdogan gave the good news of the new natural gas discovery. Erdogan said: "Our Fatih Drilling Ship has made a new natural gas discovery of 135 billion cubic meters in the Amasra -1 well in the Sakarya gas field. Our total gas discovery in the Black Sea has reached 540 billion cubic meters. Our drilling activities around the Amasra-1 well are continuing."

"We Will Open to New Fields..."

Stating that the Kanuni drilling ship will start operating to make the wells drilled by Fatih ready for production, President Erdogan said: "We are planning to extract the natural gas from the sea to land in three stages. The first stage is the natural gas production systems to be established on the seabed. The second stage is the facility that will process the natural gas on land and make it ready for use. The third stage is the pipeline that will provide the connection between the system in the sea and the facility on land. We will finish the drilling and completion of 10 wells, and then we will expand to new fields."
