Turkey to Deploy Ship for Oil and Gas Search off Somalia

Turkey is set to dispatch a ship to search for oil and gas reserves off the coast of Somalia, marking a significant expansion of its exploration activities in the region. This move highlights Turkey's growing interest in the Horn of Africa?s hydrocarbon potential and its strategic ambitions in global energy markets.

The Turkish government has announced the deployment of the exploration vessel as part of its broader strategy to secure new energy sources and strengthen its position in the international energy sector. The mission will involve detailed seismic surveys and drilling operations aimed at assessing the viability of potential reserves beneath the Indian Ocean.

Turkey's interest in Somalia is driven by the country's untapped energy resources and its strategic location along key maritime routes. By exploring these reserves, Turkey aims to diversify its energy supply and reduce its dependency on imported hydrocarbons. The exploration is also seen as a way to bolster Turkey's geopolitical influence in the region.

The move has garnered attention from various stakeholders, including international energy companies and geopolitical analysts, due to its potential implications for regional energy dynamics and Turkey's expanding footprint in global energy exploration.

Somalia, with its significant yet largely unexploited offshore reserves, could become a pivotal player in the global energy landscape if successful exploration yields commercial quantities of oil and gas. Turkey's initiative underscores its commitment to expanding its energy portfolio and securing strategic resources for its growing needs.

FTC Solar sees 67% YoY decline in Q3 revenue from lower volumes

FTC Solar, a U.S.-based provider of solar tracker systems, reported a revenue of $10.14 million in the third quarter (Q3) of 2024, surpassing analyst expectations by $240,680. However, this figure marked a 66.8% year-over-year (YoY) decline compared to the same quarter in 2023, primarily attributed to reduced product volumes. The decline in solar tracker revenue was mainly due to an 82% decrease in the amount of MW produced, which was negatively impacted by delays in customer projects. This was partially offset by an increase in the average selling price (ASP), which led to better pricing an..
