Osman Gazi was sent off to his place of duty! Minister Bayraktar announced: Daily gas production will increase to 20 million cubic meters

Osman Gazi Floating Production Platform will double the domestic natural gas production at the Sakarya Gas Field in the Black Sea. With the platform, which will operate in the Black Sea for 20 years, it is aimed to increase the daily natural gas production in the Sakarya Gas Field from 9.5 million cubic meters to 20 million cubic meters.

The Osman Gazi platform, which was first shared with the public by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in July 2024, has a length of 298.5 meters, a width of 56 meters and a depth of 29.5 meters. President Erdoğan announced that the name of the platform was determined as Osman Gazi on May 27, 2025, and sent him off to Filyos from the Dolmabahçe Working Office on May 29, 2025.

The platform, which went through accreditation and certification processes in Zonguldak Filyos, also underwent modification processes while preparing for its mission in the Black Sea. 11 facilities on the platform, which has 21 separate facilities in its superstructure, were rebuilt in accordance with the characteristics of the Sakarya Gas Field. 7 of these were produced in Türkiye and 4 abroad. The other 10 facilities were modified to suit the site and integrated into the platform.

There are a total of 642 kilometers of electrical cables on the platform, where approximately 6 kilometers of cabling is carried out per day within the scope of maintenance and preparation works. Approximately 7 thousand people took part in the works, which included approximately 30 kilometers of piping.

In August this year, the flame tower, which provides the safe removal and evacuation of hydrocarbon gases released in emergency situations, was mounted on the platform. The tower, which is 96 meters high, has a floor area of ​​approximately 65 square meters and weighs 260 tons, was placed in its place on the platform.
