Turkey's Turkish Petroleum Corporation has signed a contract with Wison New Energies to build a floating production unit (FPU) for Phase 3 of the Sakarya Gas Field, the country's largest-ever natural gas discovery.
The Sakarya field, located 170 kilometers offshore in the Black Sea, was discovered in August 2020 and holds an estimated 405 billion cubic meters of gas reserves. The new FPU, designed to withstand deepwater operations at depths of over 2,150 meters and navigate the Bosphorus Strait's tight 56-meter air draft restriction, will be a centerpiece of the third phase of development.
