Sakarya Phase One kick-starts Turkey’s upstream sector transformation, making nation less reliant on gas imports

• 20 4月 2023

Addressing Turkish Petroleum Corporation’s (TPAO) launch of Sakarya Phase One, Ashley Sherman, Research Director, Caspian & Europe Upstream Oil and Gas for Wood Mackenzie said “Sakarya Phase One redefines the scale of Turkey’s upstream sector, bringing its first deepwater output and a fundamental shift in domestic energy security. To date, Turkey has relied almost entirely on gas imports to meet its demand. Sakarya Phase One will put a sizeable dent into the country’s energy import bill, which reached an eye-watering US$97 billion in 2022. But Phase Two would be the real gamechanger, enabling Sakarya to cover almost 30% of Turkey’s gas consumption by 2030.”
