The demand for natural gas has been growing much faster than the demand for other primary resources and it is expected that the European Union (EU)’s dependency on natural gas will continue to grow. For this reason gas supply security policy has been more important lately than before on the European political agenda in securing a smooth supply of gas. According to the EU external policy directives, EU natural gas energy security can be enhanced by diversifying geographical origin as well as transit routes. Turkey in that concept was assumed as one of the important transit hub countries to reach the new sources in the Azerbaijan and Central Asia region as well as in the Middle East. However, the transportation of gas from this region to Europe through the new route via Turkey has become very complex issue in terms of technical and political point of view arising from suppliers within their export policy and from the U.S’s bilateral sanctions. This dissertation argues that under the present circumstances especially due to the difficulties in the supplier side being a major transit gas hub country will be very difficult for Turkey combined with the increasing internal gas demand in the next decade.

Turkey as a Major Gas Transit Hub Country Umucu, T.; Altunışık, Meliha; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2012-01-01) The demand for natural,gas has been growing much faster than the demand for other primary energy sources and it is expected that the European Union's dependency on natural gas will continue to grow. For this reason, the gas supply security policy of securing a smooth supply of gas has become more important lately on the European political agenda. According to the European Union external policy directives, European Union natural gas energy security can be enhanced by diversifying geographical origin as well ...
Turkey’s energy system development: Linking an energy supply model with an industrial simulation model and solving it iteratively Gungor, Gorkem; Sarı, Ramazan (2018-01-01) Turkey is in the progress to include nuclear energy to its electricity generation capacity. The energy modelling studies for Turkey mainly focus on usage of renewable energy and local fossil fuels and include nuclear power plants (NPP) only with their electricity generation capacities without taking into consideration the front- and back-ends of the nuclear fuel cycle. This study takes into consideration the life cycle assessment (LCA) of nuclear energy based on optimisation of energy system costs and usage...
Modeling of gas demand using degree-day concept: Case study for Ankara Gumrah, F; Katircioglu, D; Aykan, Y; Okumus, S; Kilincer, N (2001-02-01) The demand for natural gas is rapidly increasing in Turkey as it is in the rest of the world. However, natural gas reserves and production are rather limited in Turkey. The bulk of the Turkish gets demand is met by imports. Russia currently accounts for 69% of Turkey's gas supplies. Physical shortages might occur; supplies for industrial production and household consumption could temporarily run short. Also, fluctuations in consumption might occur due to climatic reasons or peak daily industrial energy dema...
PHPA as a frictional pressure loss reducer and its pressure loss estimation Ercan, Can; Özbayoğlu, Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2007) As the demand of oil and gas is increasing, using the existing reservoirs more efficiently as well as searching for new reservoirs is mandatory. Most undiscovered reservoirs are in deep or ultra-deep offshore locations, where drilling to such targets are very difficult with the available fluid circulation technology, since there exists a significant frictional pressure loss due to extreme long wellbores. In order to reduce the frictional pressure losses inside the drillstring, frictional drag reducers are u...
Renewable energy planning in Turkey with a focus on hydropower Gök, Emre; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) As a country highly dependent on foreign fossil fuel sources, Turkey experiences many problems due to its increasing energy consumption in parallel with increasing population and rapid economic growth. Foreign fossil fuel dependency adversely affects sustainable development of the country by hindering its economic development. Because of this, renewable energy sources of the country should be evaluated and developed as soon as possible. Prioritization of the development of renewable energy sources to increa...
