in the Turkish part of the Black Sea;
2006 - Studies at Sinop Region (TPAO, Exxon-Mobil, Petrobras)
2007 - Gas Exploration at Akçakoca Region (TPAO, OMV, Foinavon, Tiway) – yearly
production is 0,7 billion m3
2008 - Studies at Kastamonu & Samsun Region (TPAO, Exxon-Mobil)
2009 - Studies at Zonguldak Region (TPAO, Chevron)
2011 - Studies at Istranca Region (TPAO)

19. Black Sea gas potential…
TPAO’s Istranca-1 offshore well tested natural gas. The well, drilled in the Western
Black Sea Licence AR/TPO/3920, has a water depth of 85 meters and a total depth
of 3650 meters. Istranca-1 well test proved the existence of hydrocarbons in the
Turkish Black Sea outside the 12-Mile territorial waters. The well test between 1318.September.2012 recovered gas from Middle Miocene aged sandstones.
