"Achieving full independence in energy is our most important goal"

Presidency of The Republic of Turkey

10.02.2024

Speaking at a rally in Zonguldak, President Erdoğan said: "Achieving full independence in energy is our most important goal. We are implementing with determination and courage the moves that will ensure Türkiye's energy security."

President and Justice and Development (AK) Party Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the party's rally in Zonguldak.

Drawing attention to Türkiye's ongoing seismic research and drilling works with its own vessels, President Erdoğan stated that they are determined to make Zonguldak the hub of natural gas after coal, and said: "I would like to put it clearly that achieving full independence in energy is our most important goal. We are implementing with determination and courage the moves that will ensure Türkiye's energy security. After the Black Sea natural gas, my brothers and sisters, the high-amount and high-quality oil we discovered in Gabar was one of these breakthroughs."

Underscoring that the daily production of Türkiye's oil well in Gabar has surpassed 35 thousand barrels, President Erdoğan said this figure increases each passing day, and that their goal is to raise the daily production amount in Gabar to 100 thousand barrels.

Voicing his hope to share more good news about oil, mines and natural gas alike in the upcoming period, President Erdoğan stressed that they will not allow anyone to prevent Türkiye from using its underground and ground resources ever again.
