Turkey, Qatar sign liquefied natural gas agreement

[tesla]

Turkey's BOTAŞ signed on Wednesday a preliminary agreement with Qatar's national petroleum company to purchase liquefied natural gas (LNG) on long term basis.

The move came after relations between Turkey and Russia were strained after Turkish F-16 downed a Russian SU-24 bomber jet breaching its airspace on November 24.

Although Russia did not signal any problems regarding the flow of gas to Turkey, it was widely debated whether the country's natural gas supply ahead of winter are at stake.

Turkey supplied 56 percent of its natural gas from Russia in 2013, while LNG imports, mainly supplied from Algeria, made up 13 percent of its supplies.

Besides the usage in heating, natural gas power plants produce roughly one-thirds of the country's electricity.
