TPAO aims to increase oil production in Adıyaman to 15 thousand barrels

The Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) aims to reach a daily oil production capacity of 15 thousand barrels through new drilling and investment activities carried out in Adıyaman.

In Adıyaman, where oil has been produced for many years, daily production had fallen below 10 thousand barrels due to the depletion of existing reserves and declining efficiency in old wells. TPAO plans to open two new exploration wells, named Teknecik-3 and Teknecik-4, near Kavaklı village in the Kahta district to revitalize the production potential in the region. An investment of approximately 574 million liras is projected for these projects and the capacity increase at the Beşikli Production Camp.

Within the scope of the activities in the region, a depth of 2,240 meters was reached as of October 24 in the drilling operations carried out by TPIC at the Uludam-1 well in Alibey village, which is connected to the center. These investments are being continued as part of Turkey's strategy to increase domestic oil production, alongside activities in Şırnak and Diyarbakır.
