據消息稱，幾家新聞機構周三報道，土耳其在黑海發現了一種能源，很可能是天然氣。

    同時，彭博社的一份報道援引兩名知情人士的話說，這個發現是在黑海發現的。

    《哈貝特爾克日報》的一篇報道說，土耳其的“Fatih-1號”鉆井船在多瑙河附近和色雷斯海岸的基伊科伊地區的兩個地點分別發現了天然氣。

    煉油廠Tupras和石化制造商Petkim的股價大幅上揚，引發外界猜測埃爾多安將宣布發現石油或天然氣儲備。

    倫敦藍灣資產管理公司的策略師蒂莫西·阿什表示：“雖然以前在黑海也發現過天然氣，但規模有限，鑒于其每年350億至500億美元的能源進口費用，土耳其需要一些大的能源發現來改變。”

    土耳其能源部長法蒂赫·唐梅斯在6月表示鉆探活動將集中在宗古爾達克沿海地區，那里位于安卡拉以北約270公里。

    當時他說：“土耳其石油公司的專家說，來自圖納-1地區的地震數據很有前景。”

    土耳其多年來一直在黑海勘探能源資源。安卡拉沒有任何重要的碳能源資源，是一個能源凈進口國。

    Turkey Reportedly Makes Natural Gas Discovery in Black Sea

    Turkey is reported to have discovered an energy resource, likely natural gas, in the Black Sea, several news agencies reported on Wednesday.

    A Turkish official confirmed that an energy source had been discovered but declined to elaborate.

    Meanwhile, a Bloomberg report, citing two people with knowledge of the matter, said the discovery was made in the Black Sea.

    A Haberturk daily report said that Turkey's Fatih-1 drilling ship discovered gas in two separate locations, near the Danube river and in the Kiyikoy region along Thrace's shores.

    Following Erdogan's remarks, shares in the refinery company Tupras and petrochemical manufacturer Petkim jumped significantly.

Timothy Ash, a strategist at BlueBay Asset Management in London, said while "there have been gas discoveries in the Black Sea before - but of a limited scale - given its $35-50bn annual energy import bill, Turkey needs something big to be a game changer."

    In June, Turkish Energy Minister Fatih Donmez said drilling activities would be focusing in areas off the coast of Zonguldak, some 270km north of Ankara.

    "The experts from Turkish petroleum said seismic data from the region called Tuna-1 is promising," he said at the time.

    Turkey has been exploring for energy resources in the Black Sea for several years. Ankara doesn't have any significant carbon energy resources, and is a net energy importer.
