World Bulletin: Norway could help supply Turkey with natural gas

Turkey will look towards Norway as a supplier of natural gas, energy minister Taner Yildiz said during a visit to Norway on Tuesday.

At a press meeting with Norway's Oil and Energy Minister Tord Lien, Yildiz said Turkey has requested to purchase up to 6 billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas, and Norway is considering whether to make individual sales or long-term contracts.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Norway is the world's third-largest exporter of natural gas after Russia and Qatar, and, as of 2012, Norway was the sixth-largest dry natural gas producer.
