TPAO

Speaking in Istanbul, Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar outlined plans for additional exploration agreements and international partnerships.

He said Turkish Petroleum currently produces approximately 300,000 barrels of oil and gas equivalent daily, with ambitions to nearly double that figure by 2028.

The strategy reflects Ankara's efforts to reduce reliance on imported energy while expanding its regional economic influence.

However, the proposed acquisitions remain unconfirmed, highlighting the distance between Türkiye's energy ambitions and commercially established production.
