Turkey expanding gas capacity with 2 more LNG storage units

21 November 2017

Energy Minister Albayrak announced yesterday that Turkey will operationalize two more natural gas floating storage units in accordance with the goal to expand storage capacity as demand grows

In order to expand storage capacity in the face of increasing demand, Turkey is poised to operationalize two more liquefied natural gas (LNG) floating storage and regasification units (FSRU), with one to start operating by the end of the year, Daily Sabah reports.

Elaborating on the course to follow for supply security, Energy Minister Berat Albayrak (L) underscored the goal to diversify energy resources and routes, expand drilling and seismic survey operations, strengthen energy infrastructure and prioritize energy efficiency.

Albayrak announced that two more FSRU facilities in Hatay Dörtyol and the Gulf of Saros will be operationalized, recalling that an FSRU was deployed in İzmir's Aliağa district last year.
