to secure Turkey’s energy needs
through proactive measures.
He highlighted the daily oil production surpassing 35,000 barrels from the Gabar mountain well in the southeastern province of Sirnak.
"Our

Erdoğan
further said the daily production of oil well in Gabar mountain,
located in Turkey’s

"We
aim for the daily oil production in Gabar to reach 100,000 barrels by
