Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 hammered the oil and gas industry in 2020, forcing WTI prices to go negative for the first time on record. We haven’t seen a full recovery yet and the recent highlights in the financial markets shows us the fragility of today's financial system. During these times of ongoing volatility in global financial markets, we’ll discuss the oil and gas prices. 

Our event will address the following issues:

- Oil collapse in 2020

- The recent highlights in the financial markets and effects on oil and gas prices

 Research Report: The Evolution of EU-Turkey Energy Cooperation

December 2020

Abstract

"Energy" has always played an important role in the EU-Turkey relations. Because of its geographical and strategic location, Turkey has a crucial position to vary European countries supply of natural gas and oil. In this research, historical cooperation of EU-Turkey in the whole energy sector is analyzed. Despite numerous energy collaborations in which mutual gains have been achieved in the past; EU-Turkey relations is at an important breaking point today. While Turkey’s south coast Eastern Mediterranean is becoming increasingly an area of conflict, its northern coast has a potential to lead a way of regional cooperation. In this context, Eastern Mediterranean conflict and Black Sea gas potential are examined in a detail in this study.

 Derin Denizlerde Sondaj ve Karadeniz’deki Yeni Gaz Keşfi Üzerine Notlar

Dr. Okan YARDIMCI

27 Ağustos 2020

2015 yılında bir başka yazımda bitirdiğim yerden devam edeyim. O yazının son sözü bu yazının ilk sözü olsun. Petrol ve doğal gaz mühendisi meslektaşlarımın pankartlarında taşıdığı, büyük önder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün aşağıda yer alan sözüyle başlayalım:

Karadeniz’deki yeni gaz keşfimizin ülkemize hayırlı olmasını temenni ediyorum. Emeği geçen herkese canı gönülden teşekkürler. Geçmiş dönemlerden bugüne çalışmalarda görev yapan meslektaşlarımın bir kısmını tanıyorum. Kabus gibi devam eden 2020 yılında almış olduğumuz bu haber hepimizi mutlu ederken, yer bilimcilerde apayrı umutlar ve heyecanlar da yarattı. Pek tabi kafalarda birçok soru işareti bulunuyor. Bu yazıyla soru işaretlerinin hepsini olmasa da bir kısmını giderebilmenizi umarım.  

Kadir Has Üniversitesi Enerji ve Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Merkezi tarafından, 5 Mayıs 2020 tarihinde düzenlenen ‘Petrol Fiyatlarındaki Son Gelişmeler’ başlıklı söyleşinin deşifre metni

(Organizasyonda emeği geçenlere bu güzel söyleşi ve deşifre metni için teşekkürler)

02:38 Okan Yardımcı: Konu başlığını CLK20 olarak belirledim. Biliyorsunuz Nisan ayında, WTI Mayıs teslimli vadeli kontrat eksi fiyatlara düştü. Tarihte ilk kez WTI’ın vadeli kontratları eksiye düştü; o eksiye düşen Mayıs 2020 kontratının kodu CLK20. Bu konuya değinmeden önce petrol piyasasında dört tane fact’den bahsetmek istiyorum:

 Oxford Talks: South East Europe in Russia's Geopolitical Objectives   

9 March 2020

Russian influence on South East Europe is very divisive; some countries offer ample potential for Russian access while the others worry about external interference. On the 4th of March, SEESOX held a seminar examining Russia’s geopolitical objectives in South East Europe. The speakers were Professor Roy Allison (St Antony’s College, Oxford) and Andreja Bogdanovski (University of Buckingham). The seminar was chaired and introduced by Dr Othon Anastasakis (Director of SEESOX).
