Latest disclosure
The government does not publish a current national petroleum stock level in a regular public series that was found. Licensee reporting goes to the regulator and IEA reporting is aggregated, so no volume is stated.
Last recorded action
2026-03-11: release of 11.7 million barrels. Turkish contribution to the IEA collective action of 11 March 2026 from obligated industry stocks, 3.6 crude and 8.1 products, with no public stock component in the IEA table. (source)
