Northern Marmara Silivri Gas Storage Offshore Facilities

You are here:

The Silivri Natural Gas Storage Project, which is of critical importance for our country’s energy supply security and was launched in 2007, holds the title of Türkiye’s first natural gas storage facility. As a result of the capacity expansion works carried out at the Silivri Natural Gas Storage Facility, a storage capacity of 4.6 billion Sm3 has been achieved. With a storage capacity of 4.6 billion Sm3, the Silivri Natural Gas Storage Facility, which is the largest storage facility in Europe in the seas, is of critical importance in providing uninterrupted energy to our country.

BOTAŞ North Marmara Natural Gas Storage Project is Türkiye’s first underground natural gas storage facility.

The facility, which currently has a capacity of 2.84 billion cubic meters, will reach a capacity of 4.3 billion cubic meters upon completion of the project. The project is comprised of two segments: onshore and offshore. In the offshore segment of the project, two fixed platforms have been installed off the coast of Silivri in the Sea of Marmara.

Eighteen new subsea storage wells and two appraisal wells have been drilled. Armin Electric has successfully completed all electrical, electronic, and instrumentation work for the platforms to be constructed as part of the offshore project.
