Oil and natural gas are the most strategic raw materials to meet the expanding energy requirement in today’s world. They have great impact on issues such as economy, national security, development, competition, and political consistency. Being a developing country, Turkey’s natural gas requirement is increasing rapidly. However, the production is far from covering the demand. Recent assumptions point out that natural gas demand of Turkey will reach 44 billion cubic meters in 2010 with a financial burden of 10 billion $ to the national economy. Therefore Turkey requires meeting natural gas demand by using its own conventional natural gas resources. The geological researches and global data encourage Turkey to drill more exploration wells in offshore side of Western Black Sea .In early 2007, the production will be started in Western Black Sea Region with 1.42 million cubic meter gas per day. Moreover, further exploration and production activities in the region are still continuing in order to increase the production. In this thesis, issues such as importance of the natural gas for Turkey and the world, Turkey’s present energy situation and natural gas supply and demand scenarios for Turkey have been investigated. The possible impact of natural gas exploration and production in Black Sea region on Turkey’s economy in near future has been emphasized. An extensive literature survey using related printed and unprinted media has been performed in order to collect the necessary data and information.

Critical evaluation of the energy resources of Turkey with respect to the world prospects Aydemir, Mehmet Olcay; Mehmetoğlu, Mustafa Tanju; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010) Existing petroleum and natural gas reserves, which are the major supplies of primary energy demand of the world, are cumulated in a few countries. This causes a serious supply security problem for many countries. On the other side, greenhouse gas emissions caused by mainly fossil fuels are gradually increasing to a point which jeopardizes the future of the earth. By now, countries have to consider both their supply security and this global environmental problem while planning their energy future. For Turkey...
Managed pressure drilling techniques, equipment & applications Tercan, Erdem; Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010) In the most of the drilling operations it is obvious that a considerable amount of money is spent for drilling related problems; including stuck pipe, lost circulation, and excessive mud cost. In order to decrease the percentage of non-productive time (NPT) caused by these kind of problems, the aim is to control annular frictional pressure losses especially in the fields where pore pressure and fracture pressure gradient is too close which is called narrow drilling window. If we can solve these problems, th...
The Relation between crude oil prices and financial market indicators: a copula approach Öztürk, Derya Ezgi; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Küçüközmen, Coşkun; Department of Financial Mathematics (2014) Oil prices have far reaching effects on the economy and financial markets since oil market is one of the most important markets in the world due to its crucial role of oil within economic activity. Although most of the economies are expected to be affected by the changes of oil prices, the magnitude of the effects may change from country to country. Oil-export/import dependent countries are expected to be more open to impacts arousing from changes in oil prices. Turkey, as a heavily oil importing country, i...
Determination of environmental problems of the transboundary pipeline and applicable national and international legal framework Güneyli, Yamaç; Okandan, Ender; Turhan, Turgut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2003) Regarding historical tendency and today̕s future estimations, the global demand of petroleum is expected to reach a huge amount and this will be supplied by fossil fuels. Turkey̕s geographic location will make it an optimum route for transportation between the energy-rich Caspian regions, and the energy-consuming nations of Europe. Therefore, the transboundary pipeline, the most efficient means of transporting large quantities of hydrocarbons across long distances over land, will gain importance and the dec...
Duration of maximum drawdown in oil prices Salcı Bilici, Merve; Vardar Acar, Ceren; Department of Statistics (2018) Oil price is a vital financial aspect directing the economy in the global world. Changes in the level of oil prices may affect the whole economy; at the same time economic developments may affect the oil prices. For example, while lower oil prices could inhibit financial development and spoil economic and political stability, higher oil prices could cause an increase in inflation and a recession in an economy. Sharp decreases and increases in oil prices have been notable in recent years. These fluctuations ...
