In 2018, we saw potential in these regions. Unfortunately, we could not conduct search activities in these areas. Thanks to our gendarmerie, we started work after clearing that area from terrorism.

Axar.az reports that the Minister of Energy of Turkiye, Fateh Donmez, said this while talking about the discovery of oil reserves near Mount Gabar in Sirnak province.

"We have geologists. After evaluating the history of the Southeastern Anatolia region, such a potential came to the fore. Our friends work in very difficult geographical conditions. Tower erection and drilling are time-consuming tasks. The Shahid Asma Chevik well, which was discovered earlier, is located near here. 9 per day - 10,000 barrels of production is on the agenda," the minister noted.
