In January 1996, Perenco took over oil fields in the vicinity of Diyarbakir, South East Turkey. With daily production at 12,000 bopd, Perenco is the largest foreign oil producer in the country today.
Perenco currently operates 157 wells and 8 production stations within a 60km long zone. Perenco’s export facility is located at the Pirinclik terminal, which exports crude oil to Mediterranean seaports.

Production levels have been sustained through reactivations, secondary recovery by water injection, deepening, sidetracking, and drilling. Two workover rigs are dedicated to maintaining wells.
Perenco has also been successful in reactivating abandoned oil fields.
Our operations are conducted in line with Perenco Community Development policy. One of the most valuable projects is the 50 meters length Sahaban Bridge, crossing Tigris River and built by Perenco.
