After fifteen years Türkiye is drilling Somalia’s oil and Gas, its moment of joy and hope.
mr Erdoğan now announced that within six to nine months Somalia will become oil producer country.
The operations we are conducting off the coast of Somalia are historically significant, as they represent Türkiye’s first deep-sea exploration drilling mission abroad.
If climate and weather conditions permit, we expect to complete the drilling operation within six to nine months.
Our hope is to deliver the good news long awaited by the brotherly Somali people, who have struggled for many years with instability and famine. Said Mr Erdoğan.
