The approximate cost of the tender for BOTAŞ Northern Marmara Natural Gas Extension (Phase 3) Project is 792 million 308 thousand 630 Dollars. Kolin and Kalyon companies acted together in this huge project and offered 2 billion 824 million 158 thousand 755.24 kuruş for the tender.

Northern Marmara Natural Gas Storage Expansion Project

With the project, the construction of which started in 2017 at the Kuzey Marmra - Değirmenköy Storage Facility in the Silivri district of Istanbul province, which currently has a 2.84 billion Sm3 storage and 25 million Sm3 daily back production capacity, it is aimed to reach 4.6 billion Sm3 storage and 75 million Sm3 daily recycling capacity. The summary of the Northern Marmara Natural Gas Storage Extension (Phase - III) Project Supply Construction tender is as follows;

The approximate cost of the tender, which was negotiated on 31.10.2019 with the Tender Registration Number 2019/430389, was 4,597,687,748.71. The accepted offer of the partnership of Kolin İnşaat and Kalyon İnşaat for the project to be built in Silivri District of Istanbul province and will last for 900 days was 201.234.365.86 TL + 296.137.759.91 USD + 147.177.033.06 Euro.

With the completion of the Silivri Natural Gas Storage Project, whose expansion project continues with Tuz Gölü, a natural gas storage capacity of 11 billion cubic meters will be reached and it will be able to store 20 percent of the annual natural gas consumed in 2023. When the Tuz Gölü Natural Gas Storage Expansion Project is completed, 48 new wells will be opened and the total storage capacity of the facility will reach approximately 5.4 billion cubic meters and its total regeneration capacity will reach 80 million cubic meters per day. Thus, citizens will be able to provide uninterrupted natural gas under all conditions. With the completion of Tuz Gölü Natural Gas Underground Storage Project, Northern Marmara Natural Gas Storage Extension Project (Phase III) and Saros FSRU Project, natural gas storage will reach 11 billion cubic meters in 2023 and 20% of total consumption will be stored.

LNG alternative

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) imports from alternative sources also increased to 7 billion 136 million cubic meters compared to last year's figures. With the contacts to be made with the USA in the coming period, an alternative to natural gas will be created by importing LNG from this country. Last year, 206,000 cubic meters of LNG was transferred from the world's largest LNG storage vessel to the floating LNG storage and gasification unit (FSRU) of BOTAŞ. The transfer, which was completed in 2 days, was an important test for Turkey's use of LNG as an alternative source.

In order to transfer the natural gas transferred from floating systems (FSRU) to the national natural gas network system, to determine the appropriate pier location in Saros Bay and to design the pier and auxiliary facilities; “Engineering works for the Construction of Pier, Auxiliary Facilities and Pipeline for Transferring Gasified Natural Gas Transferred from Saros Floating Systems to the System are continuing. When the project is completed, it will make an important contribution to the supply day of our country, especially the Marmara Region, which has a significant portion of our country's natural gas consumption.

The Tuz Gölü Natural Gas Storage Facility in Aksaray will be the largest warehouse in the world. With the completion of the ongoing expansion works, more than 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas will be stored at this facility.
Turkey has been making major investments in the field of energy in recent years.

When the Tuz Gölü Natural Gas Storage Facility is completed, it will be the world's largest gas storage facility.

The facility is located 1400 meters below the ground.

Construction for the first phase of the plant began in 2011. Salts 1400 meters deep under the ground were dissolved with fresh water, creating 12 artificial caves called caverns. In those caves, 12 percent of the annual natural gas consumption need in the residences can be stored.

Aksaray Mayor Evren Dinçer said, "Natural gases coming out of the reserves here are stored in facilities in Aksaray by opening salt caves here. They are supplied from these warehouses for use in the future."

The capacity of the facility will increase 4 times

Expansion works at the facility continue. The power supply capacity of the facility, which is 20 million cubic meters per day, will be quadrupled. 5.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas can be transferred to storage.

With the completion of the expansion project, it will meet 30 percent of the daily natural gas consumption in Turkey.
