2. Fossil Fuels in the World and Turkey Energy Demand
• Today fossil fuels meets the 86% of
the energy demand of the World
and 91% energy demand of Turkey
• In the next 20 years, still the fossil
fuels will meet the 80% of the
energy demand of World

3. Historical Background of Petroleum Regulations in Turkey
• 1934 Mineral Research and Exploration Institute drilled the Baspirin-1 well in Southeast Anatolia
• 1934-1954 million barrel Garzan and Raman fields discovered
• 1954 Türkiye Petrolleri A. O. established with Law no 6326 as a state economic enterprise as an integrated oil company
holding rights to explore, produce, transmit and refine the oil.
• By the same law General Directorate of Petroleum Affairs also established in order to enforce the oil sector.
• In 1984 midstream and downstream separated from the company and since then she is responsible for E&P activities.
• Since 1954 %63 of the total applications were assigned to companies
• Since 1954 total of 229 company executed petroleum exploration and production activities
• %77 of this 229 companies are foreign companies
• Since 1934 total of 207 fields discovered and discovery success is %10 which is the industry average

4. Turkey Runs on Tax and Royalty
• The petroleum policy is executed by Ministry of Energy
• The regulatory body is the General Directorate of Petroleum
Affairs
• Company is being granted a license thru application to GDPA
• Company has right to perform exploration operations themselves;
there is no carry of state or NOC
• Transfer of rights are available
• Company can sell the produced oil in arms length
• Company pays tax and royalty to the government
• Company owns the resources underground
Total of 158.1 million $

5. Turkey’s Government Take
•Turkey is one of the best
countries that the Government
take is the lowest
•There are a plenty number of
countries on World that runs the
oil business with concession
type
•In tax and Royalty (concession)
contractor interest and contract
stability increases and host
government control decreases

7. How Much Exploration Done in Black Sea
North Sea
• First 75 wells dry
• Since 1966, 33 wells had been drilled in the
Norwegian sector of North Sea and discovery had
been made in the 34th well
• In 2013 a company archived 85.000km of 2D and
125.000 km2 of 3D seismic data
• EEZ signed by Norwegian in 1977
• Industrial focus over 30 years
• More than 7000 wells drilled
Black Sea
• Since 2005, 6 wells had been drilled in the Turkey
sector of Black Sea
• The total of 2D and 3D seismic acquired in Turkey
Black Sea is 140.000km and 15.000 km2 2D and 3D
respectively.
• Black Sea EEZ signed in the year 1978 and ratified
after Russian Federation in 1997
• Before 2005 nearly 100 wells drilled.
• Frontier area for the industry
• One major discovery in the offshore Romania

10. Why To Invest in Turkey’s Black Sea
• Turkey has the advantage of tax and royalty for investors, compared to the other oil
business investment instruments
• Turkey is still the biggest market in domestic gas demand
• Turkey has the advantage of being a gas hub for gas flowing from source to
consuming industries
• In order to meet the energy consumption of the world 1,5 trillion $ investment in
needed until 2030
• Black Sea is still wildcat exploration area; where commercial quantities are
expected to lie within the deep offshore area
• Black Sea has a big advantage of agreed and signed Economic Exclusive Zone
with the regional countries
• Turkey has the biggest acreage position in Black Sea, with the deepest water
column among the regional countries
12. Creating Win Win Partnerships between IOC’s and NOC’s
1. What are the main differences between IOCs and NOCs on the
subject of their strength and/or weaknesses and how do these
differences can be used to create a synergy?
2. How do you think about the NOCs acting like IOCs? Does this makes
the partnership more beneficial? (Petrobras, KNOC, Total)
3. What are the major stressful points for NOCs when partnering with
big 10 (BP, shell, Chevron etc)? And how does this partnership can be
made beneficial for both parties?
4. What is the improvement area to be handled in the JOA and/or PSA
signed between NOCs and IOCs
5. Why partnership of IOC and NOC is very common in upstream but
less likely in midstream and downstream? How can we make this
relationship improved?
As every body knows here, fossil fuels have been ruling our lives since mankind found fire.
There had been wars setup for sharing the fossil fuel reserves of the world after the invention of modern oil industry since Colonel drake 1859
Today still fossil fuels meets the 86% of the worlds energy demand and as Turkey we are 91% dependent on fossil fuels
In the next 20 years the energy truct shows us that still fossil fuels will meet the 80% of the worlds energy demand
Turkey in oil business dates back to 1934
In 1934 the Mineral Research and Exploration Institute (MTA) drilled the first well Baspirin-1 in southeast Anatolia
She (MTA) had discovered the biggest oil fields such as Garzan, Raman, during 1934-1954
In 1954 the national oil company TPAO had been established as a state economic enterprise an integrated oil company holding the rights to explore, produce, transmit and refine the oil product. Later in 1984 upstream, midstream and downstream separated from the company and since then she is responsible for E&P activities
By the same law GDPA had been established as a regulatory body responsible for the implementation of policy to the oil business
since 1954 there had been 229 companies executed exploration and production activities in which 176 of them are foreign companies
Since 1954 %63 of the total license applications were assigned to companies
And since 1934 133 oil and 74 gas fields were discovered with a 10% succes ratio
Turkey runs oil business on tax and royalty system
In the equilateral triangle at the top corner, there is policy maker wo is the Ministry of Energy in Turkey and the policies made by the ministry is implemented to the industry by the regulatory body who is GDPA, then at the right corner the oil companies are doing E&P activities in this system. Here TPAO is treated equally with the other IOCs
In tax and royalty system the royalty is taken after the gross Prodcution and after the costs incurred then the company pays the income tax. The rest is companies own product.
In 2014 according to GDPA numbers Turkey earned 158 million $, where the biggest portion comes from the royalty.
In this system the license is granted by GDPA and companies can sell the produced oil in arms length and owns the resources underground where transfer of rights are available
Also a foreign company has right to perform the E&P operations by themselves and there is no obligation of carry of state or NOC
As you may see from the chart that Turkey is one of the best country that takes the lowest government take from E&P
There are plenty of countries on earth that runs their oil business on tax and royalty
On tax and royalty the government control decreases and contract stability and contractor interest increases

Kuzey denizinde 1966 dan önce 200 den fazla kuyu kazılmıştır. Norveçe ait kısımda ise 33 kuyu kazılmış ve 34. de petrol keşfi yapılmıştır.
When we compare the north sea with black sea the exploration activities started in 1966 in north sea where activities started in late early 2000s
The first 75 well was dry in north sea and the first 6 well in Turkey section is dry in black sea. So more to go in black sea
More than 85.000km of 2D and 125.oookm2 of 3D seismic and 4D is being acquired as seismic in north sea there is only 140.000km of 2D and 15.000km2 of 3D in Turkey section of black sea
EEZ signed in 1977 norwegian and nearly at the same years EEZ signed in black sea
There is a 30 years of industrial focus on north sea but still bla
Turkey had drilled of 4628 wells since 1934 and only 5 of them are in the deep Black Sea waters
Among the region countries Turkey is in a good position concerning the estimated resources and is willing to spend 4 billion $ investment.
These data clearly show that there are plenty of investment and drilling operations are needed in order to evaluate the basin. Still the area is a frontier area and all the political issues on the sharing of the sea has been resolved. As there is an agreed and signed EEZ within the regional countries. So there is not any political risk waiting for the investors when there is a big discovery
When we compare the north sea with black sea, we can consider black sea as barren in data. Since the 1965 there had been 7000 wells drilled in north sea but in black sea approximately 100 wells d
