While consecutive oil announcements come from Şırnak, after Gabar and Cudi, oil exploration efforts have begun in the Faraşin Plateau, located at an altitude of 2,600 meters, which was once home to PKK terrorist camps.
Temporary refineries set up in the region by TPAO have initiated searches, and high-reserve oil news is expected from the recently cleared Faraşin Plateau.
Due to years of terrorist incidents, underground resources in Şırnak, which possesses a veritable "sea of oil," have been untapped, but exciting news continues to emerge.
Following high-reserve oil discoveries in Gabar and Cudi, attention has shifted to other regions in Şırnak.
The Şehit Şenay Aybüke Yalçın-1 and Şehit Yüzbaşı Esma Çevik-1 wells, with one billion barrels of reserves, produce around 20,000 barrels of oil per day.
Now, efforts have been initiated in Faraşin Plateau and Mount Kato, located 20 kilometers from Beytüşşebap district in Şırnak.
