TotalEnergies and Türkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortaklığı (TPAO) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance the joint evaluation of hydrocarbon exploration opportunities in the Black Sea and other international markets.
Alliance to explore the Black Sea
Specifically, the agreement establishes a framework for technical collaboration between both companies with the aim of analyzing offshore exploration projects. This cooperation will allow for the combination of technological capabilities and operational experience in the identification of energy resources.
Likewise, the initial focus is on Turkey’s Black Sea region, an area that has gained relevance in recent years due to its oil and gas potential. The collaboration also contemplates opportunities outside this region, expanding the international scope of the agreement.
Joint evaluation of hydrocarbon opportunities
The memorandum contemplates conducting joint studies to evaluate exploratory assets. This process includes geological analysis, seismic data interpretation, and the review of potential energy developments.
In this regard, the cooperation seeks to optimize decision-making in upstream projects, reducing risks and improving efficiency in the exploration of new resources.
Technical expertise at the service of new projects
TotalEnergies brings its global presence in more than 120 countries and its experience as an integrated energy company. For its part, TPAO plays a key role in the development of Turkey’s energy resources.
Nicola Mavilla, Senior Vice President of Exploration at TotalEnergies, highlighted that the alliance will allow the technical expertise of both companies to be leveraged to evaluate opportunities on a mutually beneficial basis.
In this way, the agreement reinforces the strategy of international cooperation in the energy sector, with special emphasis on hydrocarbon exploration in areas with high potential.
