Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar announced that domestic oil and gas production in the country is continuing at a rapid pace, without any slowdown. According to the ministry, Türkiye's domestic oil production in the first half of the year reached 23.1 million barrels, while natural gas production exceeded 1.6 billion cubic meters.
The ministry highlighted that efforts to bring domestic and national resources, such as oil from the Gabar field and natural gas from the Black Sea, into the economy are being carried out at full speed. The Gabar field accounted for 60% of total oil production during the period, while the Sakarya Gas Field had a 92% share in natural gas production.
Bayraktar emphasized that the government is working to increase oil production by opening new wells in the Gabar field and doubling natural gas production in the Black Sea this year. He stated that "while we are increasing our oil production by opening new wells in Gabar, we will also double our natural gas production in the Black Sea this year." The minister further added, "Our domestic oil and natural gas production will continue to increase."
