Türkiye’s Botas signs long-term LNG deals with Italy’s ENI, Germany’s SEFE

Turkish state-owned energy firm Botas has signed agreements to purchase liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Italy’s ENI and Germany’s SEFE (Securing Energy for Europe), Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar announced on X.

Under the deal with ENI, Türkiye will receive 5 billion cubic metres of gas over ten years, starting in 2028, Caliber.Az reports.

ENI said in a press release that it will supply approximately 0.4 million tonnes of LNG per year under the agreement.

The company added that this marks its first long-term LNG contract with Türkiye, as its LNG portfolio is expected to reach around 20 million tonnes per year by 2030.

Separately, Botas has signed a deal with SEFE for the delivery of 6 billion cubic metres of gas over “10 winter periods,” also beginning in 2028.

SEFE’s press release indicated that the agreement covers deliveries of 5 million tonnes of LNG over ten years, with shipments scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2028.
