Historical day in Blue Homeland: Osman Gazi takes office

Osman Gazi Floating Production Platform will double the domestic natural gas production at the Sakarya Gas Field in the Black Sea.

With the platform, which will operate in the Black Sea for 20 years, it is aimed to increase the daily natural gas production in the Sakarya Gas Field from 9.5 million cubic meters to 20 million cubic meters.

The Osman Gazi platform, which was first shared with the public by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in July 2024, has a length of 298.5 meters, a width of 56 meters and a depth of 29.5 meters. President Erdoğan announced that the name of the platform was determined as Osman Gazi on May 27, 2025, and sent him off to Filyos from the Dolmabahçe Working Office on May 29, 2025.

In August this year, the flame tower, which provides the safe removal and evacuation of hydrocarbon gases released in emergency situations, was mounted on the platform. The tower, which is 96 meters high, has a floor area of ​​approximately 65 square meters and weighs 260 tons, was placed in its place on the platform.

Osman Gazi, which has a staff capacity of 140 people, will work for 20 years in a location approximately 170 kilometers away from land. The platform will work like a factory, making the processed natural gas ready for use and transmitting it to the national grid.
