What happened
Türkiye is deploying its first floating production platform to the Black Sea region, with the Osman Gazi platform scheduled to depart from Filyos Port on October 17. The platform will operate for 20 years, processing natural gas from the Sakarya Gas Field before delivering it to the national grid. The country aims to double its domestic natural gas production to 20 million cubic meters per day through this project.
