"Turkey's discovered resources are the Black Sea and the largest natural gas reserves in the region."
This was stated in an article published in the Financial Times, Gadin.Net reports quoting the Telegraph.
The publication notes that the discovery is a historic step for Turkey's energy security, and its main author is President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The article also says that this will make Turkey a trade giant in the region and the world.
Ashley Sherman, an analyst at Wood Mackenzie, told the publication: "These are just assumptions based on existing discoveries. This can be continued with the discovery of new wells. However, this is the largest discovery ever made in Turkey and the Black Sea. "Turkey can have great consequences for energy exports and strengthening its influence in the Black Sea."
Last year, Turkey's energy imports totaled about $ 41 billion, according to Russia, Azerbaijan, Qatar, the United States and Iran.
The British publication writes that the discovery of new fields in the Black Sea will destroy the world's energy resources.
