President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan estimates that Gaziler and Çardaklı hold 135 million barrels of oil in place, and projects that the fields and further wells will raise regional production by 30%.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on 9 November 2026, that production began in October at Gaziler and Çardaklı, two newly disclosed oilfields in the Gabar mountains.
In his announcement, Erdoğan described the combined oil-in-place figure of 135 million barrels as an initial assessment. Oil in place is the estimated total oil content of a reservoir; reserves are the portion that can be recovered technically and economically. The estimate therefore is neither a figure for recoverable reserves nor a measure of oil already produced.
In separate comments after a cabinet meeting, Erdoğan said he expected the fields and further wells to increase oil production across the Gabar region by 30%, The Guardian said. That increase is a projection, not output already achieved.
