BOTAŞ, the guarantor of natural gas supply security, continues to engage in strategic partnerships with the aim of increasing the diversity of Türkiye’s supply sources and becoming an energy hub.
In this context, BOTAŞ signed long-term LNG supply agreements totaling 11 billion cubic meters with ENI and SEFE, two of the world's leading energy companies, on the sidelines of the 25th World LNG Summit.
BOTAŞ-SEFE Long-Term LNG Agreement
The signing ceremony for the agreement between BOTAŞ and SEFE was held under the auspices of Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar, with BOTAŞ Chairman and Managing Director Abdulvahit Fidan and SEFE Vice President Jean Manuel Conil-Lacoste present.
Deliveries under the agreement will begin in 2028, and SEFE will deliver LNG equivalent to approximately 6 billion cubic meters of natural gas to BOTAŞ during the winter months alone, for 10 years.
The agreement, which will significantly contribute to BOTAŞ's long-term supply planning and commercial capabilities, represents a significant step in the long-term strategic cooperation between the two state-owned companies, following the medium-term contract signed between the two companies in September.
BOTAŞ-ENI Long-Term LNG Agreement
At the Summit, a 10-year LNG purchase agreement was also signed between BOTAŞ and Italy's ENI. According to the agreement, deliveries will begin in 2028, and over the next 10 winter periods, BOTAŞ will receive LNG equivalent to 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
The signing ceremony for the agreement was held under the auspices of Alparslan Bayraktar, with BOTAŞ Chairman and Managing Director Abdulvahit Fidan, and ENI Global Natural Gas and LNG Portfolio Director Cristian Signoretto.
Commenting on the agreement, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar said, “This agreement we signed with ENI will significantly contribute to meeting our country's growing winter demand under planned, predictable, and favorable commercial and operational conditions, thanks to our increased access to international LNG supplies as a result of our investments in LNG terminals in recent years. This agreement is a significant step in BOTAŞ's recently accelerated efforts to ensure supply and price security, and it also enhances the company's commercial capabilities.”
BOTAŞ is increasing its cooperation with global companies to leverage the flexibility provided by infrastructure investments and to capitalize on commercial opportunities, strengthening its active presence in the energy world.
