The start of Turkish natural gas production from the Black Sea may be delayed by up to a month after staff had to leave to care for relatives affected by February’s earthquakes.
“There may be a slight delay,” state-run Anadolu Agency cited Energy Minister Fatih Donmez as saying. “It seems it will likely be in April,” he added. The previous target was the end of March.
