Turkiye is planning to become a gas trading hub, Yeni Shafak
reports, citing Turkish energy and Natural Resources Minister Fatih
Donmez.
The minister made the remarks while answering questions
following the October 25 cabinet meeting.
Commenting on Turkiye's proposal for Russia's natural gas
shipments, Donmez underlined that Turkiye owns seven pipelines,
five Liquefied Natural gas (LNG) facilities, three of which are
floating storage and gasification units (FSRU), and two underground
natural gas storage facilities. Donmez stressed that efforts are
underway to establish Turkiye as a gas trading hub.
'Our subject-matter teams are nearing the end of their job. By
the end of the year, we will have clarified our roadmap. The
crucial issue here is to consider both the buyer and the seller.
Turkey, as witnessed in prior initiatives, is an important country,
' he stressed.
Donmez was also asked if it was feasible to work with Russia on
both oil and gas projects.
'Turkey is where the refineries sell crude oil. In the private
sector, two examples are TUPRAS and Star Refinery. There are 4
refineries in TUPRAS. Typically, it was signed a year ago. In other
words, these institutions' spot purchases are not extremely high. A
different concern is how their spending habits may change as the
new year begins. Each refinery arranges a purchase deal months in
advance and anticipates how much it will use this year and from
which sources,' he answered.
