Tankers, like this one in the Bosporus, are one way to export oil from Central Asia
Oil supplies over a quarter of Turkey's energy.[1][2] Because the country produces very little oil,[3] it is almost completely dependent on imports of oil and oil products such as petrol and diesel,[4] over half of which is consumed in the country's road vehicles.[5] Turkey is the world's largest user of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for road transport.[6]
Because Turkey produces only 7% of the oil it consumes, the country’s total imports are worth more than its exports, which is a problem for its economy.[7] After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, several European countries stopped buying Russian oil, petrol and diesel but Turkey's relations with Russia are such it continues to buy all three.[8][9]
