Türkiye's first floating gas platform departs for the Black Sea, expected to double the region's output

The Osman Gazi platform, Türkiye's first floating natural gas processing facility, departed Filyos port in Zonguldak on October 17 for the Sakarya gas field in the Black Sea. It will process gas from Sakarya's wells and send it via subsea pipelines to Filyos, with production due to start in early 2027. Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar expects daily output to reach 20 million cubic metres, which would double Türkiye's Black Sea gas output and reduce reliance on imports.
