At the end of June, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that oil was discovered in two wells in Adana and the reserves’ value is estimated at $1 billion.
According to the newspaper, Donmez announced what it calls "an exciting news" that came from Adana about the discovery of four promising oil fields in the region.
Oil production in Turkey is carried out in the southeastern provinces of Diyarbakır, Adıyaman and Şanlıurfa. Turkey provides no more than 5% of its oil needs.
