BOTAŞ and Mercuria Sign 20-Year LNG Agreement

BOTAŞ and Mercuria, one of the world's largest independent integrated energy and commodity groups, have signed an LNG sale and purchase agreement. The long-term LNG supply agreement, spanning 20 years, was signed by BOTAŞ Chairman of the Board and Managing Director Abdulvahit Fidan, and Mercuria President Daniel Jaeggi.

Preliminary Agreement with Woodside Energy

The other agreement is a preliminary one between BOTAŞ and Woodside Energy for a long-term supply of LNG which will commence in 2030 and last for 9 years.
