Turkey’s first floating production platform, Osman Gazi, is scheduled to depart from Filyos Port in Zonguldak province for the Black Sea on October 17, 2026. It will operate at a designated location around the clock for 20 years.
Once operational, the platform is expected to raise daily natural gas output at the Sakarya Gas Field from the current 9.5 million to 20 million cubic metres. The number of households supplied with domestically produced gas is expected to grow from 4 million to 8 million.
Located about 170 kilometres offshore, Osman Gazi will process gas and deliver it ready for use to the national grid. The platform is 298.5 metres long, 56 metres wide and 29.5 metres high.
