Two new discoveries have been made in the mountainous Gabar region, with a potential of 135 million barrels, according to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Production began in October.
The news was announced shortly before the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, where world leaders will discuss how to reduce climate-damaging emissions. Global warming is mainly caused by the burning of coal, oil and fossil gas.
Both Turkey and Australia, which are leading the negotiations at the meeting, have been criticized ahead of the summit for their respective coal imports and exports.
