    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    Update: My TPAO contact says the size of the new reserve is 1 billion barrels with a good prospect for further discoveries. The total oil discovered is close to 6 years' worth of Turkish consumption (more like 5 years) when we deduct the current local oil production from the oil imports.

    There is an additional oil discovery in the Gabar area. The additional reserve is as big as 6 years' worth of Turkish consumption (1.8-2 billion barrels). This info doesn't come from my TPAO source so take it with a grain of salt. It is from a journalist.

    My bullshit meter goes crazy. Both Leo2, M60T and M60A3 tanks will be upgraded. Currently, we don't know how many M60A3s will be upgraded, I heard wild numbers like 600.

    I have not seen any user that has any complaints with MTU engines. User experience tells a lot. You are just throwing baseless claims around. Ask Turkish land forces why they wrote the MTU engine as the first item when they were writing the requirements of Altay. It is light and compact and MORE...

    German engine is better. There are a lot of users of MTU engines around the world and everyone sings the praise of German MTU engines even the TAF. German engines have better power and torque to weight ratio and the powerpack is more compact and lighter than its competition. For us, the best...

    Only a small amount of gas (25 cubic meter per month) is free for a year and the whole Blacksea gas will cover %30 of Turkish consumption for 35 years when the reserve is fully developed. That is big but we are not Russia or Qatar.

    We can't develop resources in the East Med because we don't have the means to do. We have only enough ships to develop Blacksea reserves. The first ship drills, the second ship does well tests and the third ship completes the well for production by leap-frogging one by one. That is how we manage...
