Turkey has the longest coastline on the Black Sea and controls the largest offshore portion of the Exclusive Economical Zone. Unfortunately, average water depths exceed 2000 m in most parts of the Turkish sector and, until recently, exploration had been mainly restricted to the shelf. To date, only a few wells have been drilled in deep water.
