Head of Sustainable Energy Department of Izmir University of Economics Prof. Dr. Mehmet Efe Biresselioğlu, Commenting on the new discovery made in the Sakarya gas field, he said that the Fatih drillship has been actively working in the Black Sea since July.
Biresselioğlu emphasized that a natural gas reserve of 320 billion cubic meters, which can be classified as a giant deposit at a depth of 2,100 meters, has been discovered with the work carried out in the research well Tuna-1, at 170 kilometers from Zonguldak, and said: “The acceleration works, the deeper you go, the more two layers are to show that. The investigation on the Danube-1 in the wells at 4 thousand 500 meters above a depth down to complete the search operation has already discovered 85 billion cubic meters of additional reserves. Therefore, the total amount of reserves has increased to 405 billion cubic meters. This amount is the largest amount of hydrocarbon resources that have been discovered in the history of Turkey “. He said.
In the coming months, the Türkali-1 well at the Sakarya drill site continues to say that targeting Biresselioğl from natural gas work, “it is expected here to increase more than this amount with positive results. New seismic studies conducted with the amount of Reserve review followed and reserve discovered in July, for Turkey It may bring with it many opportunities. Opportunities such as reducing dependence on energy imports, reducing the current account deficit and increasing energy security in a broader framework “. I speak.
Biresselioğl is also the reserve discovered in the international arena in Turkey’s energy diplomacy that will make it a more active player and political consequences, as it can provide greater participation in the strategic decision-making process by saving the will, he said. :
“If the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of the offer was that the data is in line with Sakarya 10 billion cubic meters of range annually The production of natural gas from the gas field is produced, according to the consumption of 2019 from 22 per percent of Turkey’s annual demand for natural gas, the provision of these reserves for about 40 years will be possible. If the structures of the new seismic studies and the number of reserve revisions means gradually increasing the amount of production in question. first time in July to 320 billion cubic meters of natural gas reserves in Turkey 7 corresponds to annual needs, announced together with additional reserves in this period of 10. The year is approaching. Discoveries are expected to be made in other fields increase these figures. In this context, it is important to continue calling Turkey will do the sea “.
“The reserve is located in an area that can be easily marketed”
Biresselioğlu stated that the Sakarya gas field is at a very strategic point due to its proximity to the Romanian and Bulgarian natural gas exploration fields where major energy companies invest, and also noted that the location of the Sakarya gas field Sakarya is in an area where it can be easily marketed if the reserve goes into production.
Biresselioğlu noted that explorations in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean can continue with the experience gained from the Danube-1 well and the knowledge gained from previous drilling in the Black Sea and international cooperation, and continued as follows:
With Sakarya Gas Field and the discovery of natural gas made, it would be more affected by the energy policy of Turkey’s change in the long term, the share of imports in although in recent years the country decreased but it is expected to be Russia. Gas supplier coincided with the contract update period, with Russia and the potential of reserves, is emerging as an element that increases the importance of reserves in the Black Sea. If done, Turkey could have a say in the location in long-term natural gas production. In this context, the Black Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean, exploration, natural gas production, international cooperation in areas such as export links will be on the agenda. the important point here is another energy security issue Security supply under the concept. Thanks to the reserves discovered by Turkey, having a supply of natural gas that is not affected by other countries, political developments and market conditions will mean a decrease in uncertainty and risks in this matter ”.
“Turkey was buried in rhetoric there is no oil”
Turkey’s Energy Strategy and Policy Research Center (TESPA), also President Oguzhan is Akyen, said that the Danube-1 well in the lower layers of the achieved test level results in a 26 percent increase in reserves.
He had discovered the largest hydrocarbon reserves in the history of Turkey and difficult areas like the Black Sea. This discovery, in a virgin area, in deep water, emphasized that Akyen realizes, “Turkey, with the largest fish caught was buried in the history of oil, no rhetoric in Turkey has led to the blossoming of new hopes in this regard. He was able to manage all these processes in a professional way with domestic means “. He said.
Akyen is, 405 billion cubic meters, said the average gas field reserves of 16 will be produced with a plateau level of 16.5 billion cubic meters, and assuming it will start in 2023. The first production of almost 30 percent of Turkey’s production in 2027 can be sourced locally.
Stating that the meaning of the discovered reserve quantity can be understood by making some comparisons, Akyener said:
“For example, if the focus on the eastern Mediterranean that turned the great struggles, Egypt produces its own resource potential in export activities through LNG, Israel needs a route or a large market like Turkey to switch to full production. capacity. Discovered backwards and in the reserve sense that turned the fight Aphrodite alone in the south of the island of Cyprus, Calypso and Glaucus structures to stay. If we obtain these three structures estimated reserves of approximately 319 billion cubic meters, it is produces a volume. Therefore, Turkey within the reasons of the energy dimension fighting point in the eastern Mediterranean in the Black Sea larger than the fixed cake on the table has already discovered a cake.On the other hand, 85 thousand million additional cubic meters of reserves increased by almost 89 billion cubic meters Glaucus has the same amount of resources for the structure. That is what all this to Increase in reserves so although in the same area, Turkey seems to have found a new field. with this discovery to Turkey The hand will be stronger against the EU and the US, which support the idea of the Southern Gas Corridor in all directions, and Russia, which is the largest gas exporter. National technologies developed in this sector will pave the way for even greater advances in our blue homeland. “
