First oil rig that 100% made in Turkey

First oil rig was delivered
The rig was produced by Petromak company in Konya city. The rig will be used at oil, gas & geothermal exploration. Rig was delivered with ceremony to Merty Energy Corporation. I went to ceremony. The ceromony was good prepared. This rig very important for Oil gas exploration in Turkey because Oil companies of Turkey have imported to rig equipments, then maybe they will be exported by Turkish companies.

QUATERNARY BASALTS

I saw quaternary basalts when i was working in diyarbakir field for geochemical survey. These basalts very exciting and very dangerous because it has sharp edge. I was walking approximately 10 km per day on top of basalts in July, because there isn't any road for car or mount animal.

In fact, I am happy because there wasn't any accident over there.

Petroleum

Petroleum (L. petroleum, from Greek πετρέλαιον, lit. "rock oil") or crude oil is a naturally occurring, flammable liquid found in rock formations in the Earth consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights, plus other organic compounds.The term "petroleum" was first used in the treatise De Natura Fossilium, published in 1546 by the German mineralogist Georg Bauer, also known as Georgius Agricola.

Composition : The proportion of hydrocarbons in the mixture is highly variable and ranges from as much as 97% by weight in the lighter oils to as little as 50% in the heavier oils and bitumens.The hydrocarbons in crude oil are mostly alkanes, cycloalkanes and various aromatic hydrocarbons while the other organic compounds contain nitrogen,oxygen and sulfur, and trace amounts of metals such as iron, nickel, copper and vanadium. The exact molecular composition varies widely from formation to formation but the proportion of chemical elements vary over fairly narrow limits as follows
