Türkiye's first seismic survey vessel Barbaros Hayreddin Paşa began searching for oil and natural gas off Trabzon after work in the western Black Sea.
The vessel, operating under a TPAO project, had anchored at Trabzon Port for resupply on 24 September. Work is planned to continue in the Black Sea off the coast between Tirebolu and Rize in October 2026-June 2027.
