This is great news! The oil potential is huge in offshore Somalia.

1/
After months of hiding it from the public—and even from Somali MPs—the HSM regime’s secret oil deal with Turkey finally surfaced.
It wasn’t revealed in Mogadishu.
It came out yesterday in the Turkish parliament, for ratification.
Now we know what they signed.

Rare earths in nothern Somalia and mineral deposits in the Gulf of Aden

[Michael Dunne @dunne_insights]

Rare earths are not rare. But the processing of rare earths is owned and controlled by one country - China.

China produces 60% of rare earths and processes 90% of them.

One of the reasons Somalia has a very weak state is that after the civil war the country was left with no proper capital city.

It’s time to choose a proper capital for a prosper Somalia

[Dahir Hassan @Dahirhasan]

Proud to announce that Somalia is officially open 4 drilling. I invite U.S. energy companies to return. @SSCKhaatumo is now recognized as a Federal Member State & the lifting of force majeure clears the way 4 oil exploration & extraction in the resource-rich Nugaal Valley Basin.

Following fruitful negotiations between SPA and TPOC in Istanbul, I’m pleased to announce the signing of an onshore oil and gas exploration deal. TPOC will explore 16,000 km² across three blocks in Somalia—advancing our energy partnership. @aBayraktar1

[Oil in Somalia @OilSomalia]

@othmun1 Yes, the last oil well drilled in Somalia

More on the numbers!

[‏Abdrhmn Sāmāwādē @PhiloSomalia]

In two years, when the oil production starts in Somalia’s offshore blocks, the Turkish Oil Company, TPAO will generate a predicted yearly output of oil worth over 5 billion dollars of which the FGS will pocket less than 200 million dollars annually.

Türkiye’s Oruc Reis research vessel has arrived off Somalia’s coast for a 7-month mission, surveying oil & gas potential across 3 offshore zones! Turkish Energy Minister confirms this as part of Türkiye’s expanding energy ties with East Africa. #Oil #Gas #Somalia #Turkey

Somalia has worked to deepen diplomatic relations and security cooperation with Eritrea and Egypt since Ethiopia signed a naval port deal with Somaliland in January 2024. 2/7

Update : @AbdirizakOm announced that Shell and ExxonMobil have pulled out of offshore oil exploration licences in Somalia.

The petroleum minister has also decided to terminate all Coastline Exploration contracts except 2 #oott #oilandgas

[Oil in Somalia @OilSomalia]

Coastline exploration was put into liquidation in the Cayman Islands and there is shareholders dispute. According to the petroleum minister, some of the shareholders will be granted the remaining two offshore blocks #oott

Bugün Oruçreis araştırma gemimizi Somali’ye uğurladık.

2017 yılından beri ülkemize önemli hizmetlerde bulunan Oruçreis, artık Somali’de her biri 5’er bin kilometrekarelik alanı temsil eden 3 ruhsat sahasında sismik faaliyet yürütecek. 🇹🇷🇸🇴

On yıllardır çatışma, istikrarsızlık ve açlıkla anılan Somali bölgesi, Oruçreis’in keşifleri sonrasında artık ekonomik kalkınmayla, refahla, huzurla gündeme gelecek.

Somali açıklarındaki sismik araştırma faaliyetlerimizden de Allah’ın izniyle müjdeli haberler alacağımıza inanıyorum.

[Alparslan Bayraktar @aBayraktar1]

Somali Petrol ve Maden Kaynakları Bakanı Sayın Abdirisaq Mohamed Omar ile Oruç Reis Sismik Araştırma Gemimizi uğurlamadan önce bir görüşme gerçekleştirdik.

Gemimizin Somali denizlerinde gerçekleştireceği çalışmaların ayrıntılarını bir kez daha ele aldık. Mevcut iş birliğimizi kara sahalarında da sürdürme adına karşılıklı olarak yapabileceklerimizi değerlendirdik.

[GAROWE ONLINE @GaroweOnline]

Erdogan Sends Oruc Reis to Somalia for Historic Oil and Gas Exploration In 3 Offshore Zones, where Turkey has secured rights After the March Deal, setting the stage for a deepening Turkish presence in the Horn of Africa.

Oil deals already deepened rifts in #Somalia due to a lack of consensus between the Federal Govt and regional states on the share of natural resources revenue.

[Oil in Somalia @OilSomalia]

Turkey will send Oruc Reis research vessel to Somali waters next month to conduct energy exploration activities and naval ships to protect it #oott
