    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    Neither the Blacksea gas discovery nor the Gabar oil discovery is new and has nothing to do with elections. Gas and oil discovery news on voters' behavior is minimal and probably in a bad way.

    The big ceremony will probably happen on May the first. It is a holiday (worker's day) and commies go crazy on that day so Erdo will use this against them. He will say real workers are contributing to our country those commies are rich Cihangir commies that are terrorizing streets etc.

    TR Oil & Gas Exploration Update & Discussion

    TPAO decided to increase investment in Gabar. High-level bureaucrats are visiting the TPAO drilling facilities. High API gravity suggests that the reserve might be similar to oil reserves in Saudi Arabia or Gulf countries. TPAO might have just hit the jackpot.

    Another update 1 billion barrels is an estimate(conservative), not the final number. The reserve area is vast and additional studies are needed. Drillings will continue to determine the size of the current reserve and to find and develop new reserves in the neighboring fields with good...

    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.

    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.
