Houston, Texas – Türkiye is entering a new era of oil and gas development with an exciting joint venture aimed at unlocking the vast potential of its unconventional hydrocarbon resources. The energy sector in Türkiye has a long and proud history, including major gas discoveries in the Black Sea and significant finds in the Garbar Mountain Range along the border with Iraq. Today, we are pleased to announce that we have executed a Joint Venture Agreement to commence the commercial development of unconventional oil and gas resources in the Diyarbakir Basin of Southeast Türkiye and the Thrace Basin of Northwest Türkiye. The Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO), Türkiye’s National Oil Company, has conducted extensive analysis of the formations and reservoir quality in these two regions. Early evaluations suggest the Ultimate Recoverable Reserves could reach 6 billion barrels of oil (BO) and 12-20 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas in the Diyarbakir Basin, and 20-45 TCF in the Thrace Basin. To accelerate the development of these promising resources and leverage the latest in environmental practices and technology, Türkiye Petrolleri A.O. has entered into a joint venture with Continental Resources and TransAtlantic Petroleum. Continental Resources, is led by renowned industry pioneer Harold Hamm and is the largest private oil and gas producer in the United States. They have been leaders in revolutionizing horizontal petroleum development. TransAtlantic Petroleum, a US-based unconventional producer, has been operating successfully in Türkiye for over 17 years. This strategic partnership will enhance Türkiye's energy industry by bringing together technical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and a commitment to environmental responsibility. By harnessing the success pioneered by the American independent petroleum industry, this collaboration will allow for the rapid development of Türkiye’s unconventional resources and pave the way for an Energy Renaissance.

“For decades, American energy has powered our economy, created millions of jobs and made life better for families across the country. Thanks to the hard work and innovation of the people of American oil and natural gas, we’ve gone from energy dependence to energy dominance – proving that drill baby, drill was more than a slogan. It was a call to action that is helping to unleash American potential. Now it’s time for the next phase of our energy future: Build, Baby Build.” Read Harold Hamm’s latest op-ed on strengthening America’s energy future here:
