Erdogan: Turkey has discovered a new field in the Black Sea.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey plans to produce up to 40 million cubic meters of gas per day from newly discovered fields of gas reserves in the Black Sea.
“We hope to use the Black Sea gas from January 2023. It is planned that at the first stage 10 million cubic meters of gas will be produced per day from 10 wells, at the second stage - 40 million,” Erdogan said on TRT.
Erdogan said in early June that Turkey has discovered a new field in the Black Sea with gas reserves of approximately 135 billion cubic meters.
According to him, due to last year's discovery, the cumulative gas reserves on the Black Sea shelf are around 500 billion cubic meters.
Moreover, in August 2020, Erdogan announced the discovery of the Sakarya gas field in the Black Sea, with an estimated reserve volume of 320 billion cubic meters.
