Item Open Access The Iraq war, Turkey, and renewed caspian energy prospects(Middle East Institute, 2008) Williams, P. A.; Tekin, A.Many have linked the US-led invasion of Iraq to its oil resources, leading some observers to question Caspian energy prospects. This article analyzes how the Iraqi occupation and Caspian oil prospects have been inter-linked, via the evolution of American and Turkish assessments of Iraq and the Caspian region. It shows that, contrary to initial expectations, the occupation of Iraq bolstered the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan project as well as a number of other increasingly significant natural gas export pipelines.Item Open Access Key challenges facing the Eastern Mediterranean: the future of regional energy development(Siyaset Ekonomi ve Toplum Arastirmalari Vakfi, 2021) Karbuz, SohbetThis article provides a critical overview of the key commercial, technical, legal, and political challenges the Eastern Mediterranean region faces in regard to the development of its natural gas resources and proposes possible ways to overcome them. To that aim, it first gives an up-to-date overview of the upstream developments in the region. It then discusses the challenges facing the monetization of the gas discoveries by looking at both the commercial challenges hampering exploration and field development and the technical challenges involved in exporting the gas to the immediate and distant markets. While examining the legal and political challenges related to maritime delimitation and political alignments, it highlights the role of gas. Finally, it offers some possible ways to overcome those challenges.Item Restricted TPAO’nun Lüleburgaz ve sonrası doğal gaz arama-bulma çalışmaları(Bilkent University, 2020) Mintaş, Batuhan; Yılmaz, Elif; Yalçın, Enes; Yücetürk, Gözde; Sever, Zeynep YağmurTürkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortaklığı 1954 yılında kurulmuştur. Lüleburgaz’daki doğal gaz çalışmalarına 1960’lı yıllarda başlamış, ilerleyen yıllarda ilçe ve Trakya özelinde açtığı doğal gaz kuyuları ile bölgenin kalkınmasında rol oynamıştır. Bölgenin doğal gaz konusunda zenginliği fark edildikten sonra, 1984 yılında Lüleburgaz’da TPAO Trakya Bölge Müdürlüğü kurulmuş ve çalışmalar daha verimli hale getirilmiştir. İlçede elde edilen doğal gaz, çevredeki sanayi kuruluşları başta olmak üzere çeşitli alanlarda kullanılmıştır. Lüleburgaz’da olumlu sonuçlar alınmasının ardından, TPAO Trakya dışında da doğal gaz arama-bulma çalışmalarını hızlandırmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yurt dışında çalışmalar yapılmış ve bu çalışmalar günümüzde de devam etmektedir.Item Open Access The Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) as a unique project in the Eurasian gas network: a comparative analysis(Pergamon Press, 2015) Özdemir, Volkan; Yavuz, H. B.; Tokgöz, E.Trans-Anatolian Gas Pipeline (TANAP) as a part of the Southern Gas Corridor has significant implications for the transit security of the European Union and the domestic gas market of Turkey. Among those countries in Eurasia, only Turkey's process of liberalization is a success story, albeit an incomplete one. Surrounded by liberal markets to the West and monopolistic markets to the East, Turkey partially possesses a competitive gas market. TANAP, a unique project among the international pipelines in Eurasia, strengthens Turkey's peculiar position by de facto ending the monopoly of the incumbent BOTAŞ over gas transmission and thus contributes to the liberalization of the domestic market.Item Open Access Turkey and EU energy security: the pipeline connection(Department of Political Science, CEU, 2009) Tekin, A.; Williams, P.
