The Turkish state energy company BOTAS and British oil giant Shell have signed a 10-year liquefied natural gas agreement. Türkiye's Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said around 4 billion cubic metres will be delivered annually starting from 2027. Bayraktar also said the deal will provide the option of receiving LNG from the filling port and unloading it to European terminals. Earlier this year, Turkiye had also inked an LNG agreement with the US's largest oil company, ExxonMobil. Ankara has made significant investments in LNG facilities and natural gas pipelines over the past ten years.
