Analysis - Energy Sector Highlights Last updated: July 7, 2015

  • Turkey is an increasingly important transit hub for oil and natural gas supplies as they move from Central Asia, Russia, and the Middle East to Europe and other Atlantic markets.
  • Over the past decade, Turkey's economy has expanded, and its petroleum and other liquids consumption has increased. With limited domestic reserves, Turkey imports nearly all of its oil supplies.
  • Turkey plays an increasingly important role in the transit of oil. It is strategically located at the crossroads between the oil-rich former Soviet Union and Middle East countries, and the European demand centers. It is home to one of the world's busiest chokepoints, the Turkish Straits, through which almost 3 million b/d flowed in 2013.
  • Turkey has a strategic role in natural gas transit because of its position between the world's second-largest natural gas market, continental Europe, and the substantial natural gas reserves of the Caspian Basin and the Middle East.
  • Turkey is increasingly dependent on natural gas imports as its domestic consumption, especially in the electric power sector, continues to experience significant growth.
