A Turkish drilling ship has arrived in Mogadishu for Somalia's first offshore oil exploration. This marks a significant step for both nations' energy sectors. The vessel will conduct deep-sea drilling operations under a 2024 deal granting Turkey's TPAO rights to explore offshore blocks. This is Turkey's first overseas deep-sea drilling. The drilling campaign is expected to last ten months, with the first well named "Curad" and anticipated to be one of the world's deepest offshore wells.
