Hernádi and Turkish Petroleum chairman and CEO Ahmet Türkoğlu formalised the agreement.

The two companies have a history of joint ventures, having worked together on Azerbaijan’s Azeri-Chirag-Deepwater Gunashli field and Russia’s Baitugan field.

This strategic partnership aligns with MOL Group’s updated strategy, Shape Tomorrow, which focuses on maintaining daily production volumes at a minimum of 90,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day over the next five years.

To achieve this, the company’s Exploration and Production division is looking to strengthen its international portfolio through strategic partnerships.
