Türkiye's Gabar Oil Field Hits Record Production of 83,300 Barrels Daily

Türkiye's Gabar oil field has reached a record daily production of 83,300 barrels, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar announced on Thursday.

Gabar was once associated with 'blood, tears and hopelessness', but under Türkiye's 'Terror-Free Türkiye' initiative, it has become a center for production, employment and hope.

The field, located in the Cudi-Gabar region of Sirnak province near the Iraqi border, was discovered in 2021 after state-owned Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) stepped up exploration activities.

Energy Minister Bayraktar has estimated the field's reserves at around 1 billion barrels of oil. The government aims to raise production to 100,000 barrels per day.
