TPAO President and CEO

Our aim is to add a meaning
to our economic effort and
investments by protecting
the ecosystem which is the
basis of human life.

domestic exploration and
production activities
Turkish Petroleum, in parallel to its main
purpose and targets, conducts its studies
with the principle of preventing and/or
minimizing the negative environmental
effects during exploration, drilling,
production activities and with the principle
of maintaining a planned and environmental
friendly teamwork in order to protect the
human and environment health and natural
balance in an innovative, functional and
scientific manner.
Turkish Petroleum also views and adopts
itself with the integration process of
international oil companies and carries
out its studies for the establishment
of a competitive, secure, transparent
and balanced market conditions for all
oil companies engaging in oil and gas
exploration business in Turkey’s oil market.
In this respect, Turkish Petroleum has
made a boom in its domestic investments
by extending its activities in all unexplored
basins of Turkey and especially the Black
Sea and the Mediterranean.
The first natural gas discoveries in the
Western Black Sea region in 2004 along
with seismic surveys throughout the entire

Black Sea floor have attracted the attention
of many oil companies. Hence; prominent
companies such as BP, Petrobras,
ExxonMobil and Chevron have joined
Turkish Petroleum in various exploration
projects including Hopa-1, Sinop-1,
Yassıhöyük-1 and Kastamonu-1.
In addition, we undertook some ultra deep
water drilling operations in Sürmene-1 well.
Conducting drillings of Yassıhöyük-1 and
Sürmene-1 wells, we have become one
of the 12 major global oil companies in
managing ultra deep water drillings.
Our near future goal is to explore the whole
hydrocarbon potential of the Black Sea and
to bring it into the economy.
Meanwhile, activities for revealing
hydrocarbon potential of the Mediterranean
commenced through the execution of
“Petroleum Services and Production
Sharing Contract” for onshore and offshore
licenses on November 2, 2011 between
Turkish Petroleum and Ministry of Economy
and Energy of Turkish Republic of Northern
Cyprus (TRNC) .
Also, we announced a new farm-out process
for Antalya offshore licenses in 2010 to
provide new opportunities for establishing
joint ventures with foreign oil companies.
In this period, interested companies
involved in joint evaluation of and discussion
on the technical data. Following our internal
analysis of the proposals submitted by the
interested companies, we started productive
negotiations with Shell in July 2011.
Turkish Petroleum and Shell accomplished
the execution of a Farm-in and Joint
Operating Agreement covering Antalya
offshore licenses on November 23, 2011.
On the other hand, to accelerate its studies
on unconventional resources, Turkish
Petroleum again initiated negotiations
with Shell to be able to apply the latest
technologies for exploration, development
and production of such unconventional
resources existing in the Southeastern
Anatolian Region.
Turkish Petroleum and Shell managed to
establish a main Agreement and finally
signed a Farm-in and Joint Operating
Agreement on November 23, 2011,
reflecting their specific purposes for
unconventional resources.
Also, in the last quarter of 2011, we have
completed preparations for the new farmout
opportunity covering İskenderun and
Mersin offshore licenses.
The farm-out process was announced
in December 2011 by inviting major oil
companies to a visit for evaluating the
related data and we intended to initiate
negotiations with the target of conducting
exploration activities with those foreign
companies interested in the designated
fields.
