    TR 2023 Turkish presidential election

    Approx. 1.75 million votes are cast in foreign countries. According to exit polls (ballot box polls), Erdoğan is leading in foreign votes. Sinan Oğan also has a surprisingly high percentage. Of course, Sinan Oğan can still get a low percentage as foreign votes are only a fraction of the total...

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    No, it is a matter of cost, not a technological shortage. Why should I buy your expensive gasoline when I can buy it from another seller for half the price? Most of the time low-quality oil is mixed with high-quality oil before processing it in the refinery to lower refining costs. Extracting...

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    Venezuela has an insane amount of oil but unfortunately, it is of low quality. It has high API and looks like mud rather than oil.

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    It seems that the currently exploited shallow reservoir is the result of oil from the deep seeping from the fault cracks and forming smaller, shallow(200-300m deep) reservoirs. If seismic and gravity data ends up being good a deep well similar to Gabar Aybüke Yalçın well will be drilled. The...

    Did you guys remember the olive farmer in Manisa who found an oil-like substance? TPAO set up a pumpjack and started trial production from a shallow(200-300m) reservoir.

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    It was not my point. It is possible to mount PT-6 instead of PD-170 especially after TAI starts using stronger wings on Anka-Aksungur. 550hp version of PT-6 might be a better fit. Aksungur is a big UAV and will be able to carry enough payload to high altitudes with PT-6 engines. PT-6 also...

    TR UAV/UCAV Programs | Anka - series | Kızılelma | TB - series

    There is a turboprop UAV project it is alive and kicking. Aksungur performed better than expected so there was an internal discussion should we just mount a TP engine and call it a day or should we use one of our existing studied designs? PD-170 performs better than TAI expected but those two...
