ANKARA (Turkey), October 5 (SeeNews) - Turkish energy and natural resources minister Fatih Donmez said that the country's third and newest oil and gas exploration and drilling vessel, Kanuni, will start exploration operations in the Black Sea in the first months of 2021, local media reported.

Kanuni will be operating alongside the Fatih drillship, Daily Sabah quoted Donmez as saying on Saturday.

The Kanuni vessel is currently at the port of Tasucu in southern Turkey’s Mersin province and will leave for the Haydarpasa port on Istanbul’s Asian side on October 10, according to the report.

In August, Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Fatih discovered in the Black Sea its biggest-ever natural gas field holding estimated reserves of 320 billion cubic metres.
