    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    BTW mud volcanoes are usually associated with gas. There are mud volcanoes around the Sakarya gas field. There are also mud volcanoes in the Caspian Sea near the Azerbaijani gas field areas. Of course, that doesn't mean when there is a mud volcano there is guaranteed gas and other times gas...

    You are talking about a very different thing that is called life cycle costs. Arabs pay the money because they pay protection money and will continue paying life cycle costs independent of that.

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    The first one maybe, the second one I don't think so. Anyway, I would rather drill in a good spot and train crews there. It is better to drill a good spot multiple times than a barren spot for crew training.

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    Another news is the discovery of 8 billion tonnes of shale rock in the Konya-Ereğli and Nigde-Bor areas. Probably no one ever heard of this. It is estimated that the shale reserve is around 2.6 billion barrels to 8.3 billion barrels. Of course, we can't extract/recover every drop of this oil...

    Bad location to drill. Low chance to find meaningful reserve. The previous drilling location was also bad but interestingly crew encountered a trace amount of gas so TPAO decided to conduct seismic studies around the drilling location. The big red dot is the previous drilling location. IMHO...

    Probably. I expect some announcement on 7 December as SSIK is planned for that day.

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    Again like the oil found in Adana/Çukurova this news is true but don't expect this reserve to magically halve the price of the fuel in TR. Those reserves are very small on a global scale. An optimistic estimate of 20k barrels per day is nothing. It translates to a yearly production of 7.2...

    I disagree I think Russia should join Turkiye as Turkiye is the stronger country other than nukes.

    "At least 30". I know that Baykar wants to gradually increase production capacity and the end target is to hit 46 TB2s per month. That is roughly 550 TB2s. Now having the capacity doesn't necessarily mean the company will produce at full capacity all the time. The monthly production capacity...

    As of June 2022, there are 466105 Syrians who can vote in the next elections. Note that citizenship giveaways to Syrians increased a lot in 2022 and we can expect 1 million Syrian voters in the next elections. This is Syrians alone, there are a sizeable amount of voters from other nationalities...

    Currently, that missile is not on sale and I don't expect it to be soon. Turkiye doesn't sell some of its defense products. SSB president only mentioned it once or twice.

    Yes. If you want the complete package with a 5 year guarantee :) this seems to be the new price. Of course allies likes Azerbaijan will get different deals.

    Baykar will produce 500 TB2 and 40+ Akıncı next year as stated by the CEO of the company. TB2s alone are worth a lot. TB2 has a flyaway export price of 5+ million. A package with mobile and fixed ground stations, signal relays, training, and maintenance&test equipment costs a lot higher than...

    There is also one other Kayseri-based company that has the same capability. Kim Teknoloji. It has the production capability of C/C and C/C-SiC composites. https://www.kimteknoloji.com.tr/teknik-seramikler/

    The correct question is which version of the Akıncı? Release altitude is the most important parameter release speed is secondary and only has a limited effect. Tolun can reach 100+km when released from 40k altitude with a speed of 0.9 Mach.
