Turkey aims to reduce dependence on energy imports

Country is boosting domestic energy production while targeting development of oil and gas reserves in Africa and Asia

Turkey plans to reduce dependence on primary energy imports by pursuing parallel strategies of reducing domestic reliance on hydrocarbons while boosting domestic oil and gas production and securing exploration rights for state upstream operator TPAO abroad. Turkey is heavily import dependent, bringing in 30mt of crude and 18.7mt of petroleum products in 2024, while producing only 5.3mt of crude from domestic fields. Gas imports in 2024 totalled 52bcm against domestic production of just 2.4bcm.
