Wood’s energy innovation and optimisation president Andy Hemingway said: “The Sakarya Gas Field will make a significant contribution to the development and growth of the Turkish energy industry and the wider economy.

“With decades of experience, Wood is uniquely positioned to deliver on this new contract, and we are delighted to be continuing our longstanding working relationship with TP on this milestone project.”

Wood said that the new discovery could ‘ease Turkey’s dependence for gas imports from Azerbaijan, Iran, and Russia’.

In a separate development, Russian gas firm Gazprom have approved a $24bn investment (RUR1.76tn) for 2022.

This will be spent on top-priority projects, renovating gas transmission systems, and projects that will help to secure gas balance during peak periods.

Of this investment, the firm plans to spend $1.03bn (RUR77.02bn) on the acquisition of non-current assets, $19.09bn (RUR1,427.22bn) on capital investments, and $3.39bn (RUR253.43bn) on long-term financial investments.
