This ultra-deepwater floating production unit (FPU) is being built for Türkiye Petrolleri A.O. (TPAO) to boost Türkiye's natural gas supply.

China-based provider of clean energy services Wison New Energies, formerly known as Wison Offshore & Marine, has held a keel-laying ceremony at its Nantong yard for a floating production unit destined for Türkiye’s giant gas field in the Black Sea.

The FPU, which is being built for TPAO, is designed to process up to 25 million cubic meters of natural gas daily, marking a significant step forward for Türkiye’s domestic energy independence.

The keel-laying ceremony was held on October 25, 2026, for the Sakarya gas field's Phase 3 FPU, and the hull block assembly commenced in the dry dock on schedule, according to Wison New Energies.

The Chinese player emphasizes that this marks the project’s entry into a major construction phase and another important step towards delivery of the ultra-deepwater FPU.
