Türkiye produced a record 3.4 million barrels of crude oil in November, half of it coming from the Gabar mountain region in the southeast province of Şırnak, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said Tuesday.
“As of today, our daily production in Gabar has exceeded 61,000 barrels,” Bayraktar said at a petroleum industry meeting in Istanbul.
The pace of crude oil and natural gas extraction in Türkiye has picked up significantly in recent years with major discoveries on its northern coast and the start of oil production in Şırnak, where authorities aim to lift daily output to 100,000 barrels.
The authorities have ramped up efforts to boost domestic production and thus curb energy imports, which the country widely relies upon. The officials have often reiterated the aim to continue to have different operations, research, and studies while seeking to strengthen energy security.
Most notably, Turkish domestic research vessel Oruç Reis has also recently begun exploration operation on the coast of Somalia.
