Turkish Petroleum (TPAO) is Türkiye’s national oil company, backed by more than seven decades of expertise in exploring, producing, and developing hydrocarbon resources both domestically and internationally. Over the years, Turkish Petroleum has established a strong international presence, operating in countries such as Azerbaijan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), and the Russian Federation.

As a cornerstone of Türkiye’s petroleum and natural gas sector, Turkish Petroleum has played a significant role in shaping the national energy landscape. This strategic importance is further reflected in Türkiye’s 2025 Investment Program, where Turkish Petroleum has been allocated the largest investment budget among state-owned enterprises.

Recent major discoveries, recognized among the most notable offshore and onshore finds worldwide in their respective years, have further strengthened Turkish Petroleum’s position in the regional energy market. Among these, the Sakarya Gas Field—located within Türkiye’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Black Sea—stands as the country’s largest natural gas discovery, marking a critical step toward reducing Türkiye’s energy dependency. Additionally, the Gabar Oil Field in Southeastern Türkiye represents a transformative milestone for domestic oil production.

Guided by the philosophy of “respect for human, society, and the environment,” Turkish Petroleum embeds responsible practices in its strategic pursuits, ensuring sustainability and efficiency in energy development.
