Турция обнаружила запасы природного газа в Черном море на 320 млрд кубометров

Турция обнаружила в Черном море самые большие в истории запасы природного газа объемом 320 миллиардов кубометров. Президент Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган объявил о находке, подчеркнув, что первоначальные результаты показывают, что этот заповедник является лишь частью еще более крупных запасов в том же районе.

Турция сильно зависит от иностранных энергоресурсов и уже давно занимается разведкой углеводородных запасов в Черном и Средиземном море путем глубоководного бурения.

Хотя объем обнаруженного в регионе природного газа составляет около 320 миллиардов кубометров и может удовлетворить потребности Турции менее чем за 10 лет, Эрдоган сказал, что данные, собранные в результате испытаний и исследований, показывают, что существует большая вероятность увеличения запасов природного газа в том же районе.

Министр энергетики Фатих Донмез повторил ожидания Эрдогана, поскольку по его словам, сейсмические данные показывают, что внизу есть еще два слоя аналогичной структуры и, что в этом районе будет обнаружено больше газа.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
