TPAO hunts for E&P partner



By Upstream staff 

Turkish oil company TPAO will isssue a tender in May for a foreign partner for its exploration license in the eastern Mediterranean, TPAO exploration director Ahmet Faruk Oner said today.

He told Reuters the exploration license covers the region along the coast of Antalya, Mersin and the Iskenderun Gulf.

The issue of oil exploration has become a source of controversy in the eastern Mediterranean amid objections by Turkey and Turkish Cypriots to a decision by the internationally-recognised government in the south of Cyprus to launch a round of offshore exploration licences.
