Donmez explained that global energy markets are witnessing a major change, especially in terms of price, stressing that Turkey continues to discover natural gas in the Black Sea.

He added, “We have completed all engineering work in the Sakarya natural gas field and submitted requests for high-quality pipelines, and the delivery pipelines will be laid under the Black Sea in the spring of 2022.”

“We will do this work with a company that is expert in its field and has a high level of efficiency,” he added, noting that the fourth drilling ship will arrive in Turkey in the spring of 2022.
