Turkey has signed a 10-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply deal with France’s TotalEnergies, starting in 2027. The agreement includes the supply of 1.1 million tons of LNG per year to BOTAŞ, Turkey’s state-owned crude oil and natural gas pipelines and trading company. The deal involves 16 LNG cargoes annually, totaling approximately 1.6 billion cubic meters of gas. This contract is part of Turkey's strategy to diversify its energy supply mix and enhance its position as a potential gas hub for Europe. The agreement also adds to BOTAŞ’s gas trading portfolio and increases Turkey's energy flexibility, especially with contracts expiring with Russia and Iran. The deal boosts Turkey's aim to become a significant gas hub.
