Türkiye’s first floating natural gas production platform, Osman Gazi, reached Filyos Port in Zonguldak on May 31.
The platform was officially sent off from Istanbul’s Presidential Dolmabahce Office on May 29, a day marking the 572nd anniversary of Istanbul’s conquest, in a ceremony attended by President Erdoğan and the energy minister.
With a maximum processing capacity of 10.5 million cubic meters of natural gas per day, Osman Gazi will double Türkiye’s Black Sea gas production to 20 million cubic meters daily. This boost is expected to supply natural gas to about 8 million households.
The platform is 298.5 meters long, 56 meters wide, and 29.5 meters deep, and can host 140 personnel. Operations are planned to start by mid-2026, with the platform expected to work at the site for 20 years.
