Baker Hughes and Türkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortaklığı (TPAO) signed an agreement to assess and develop enhanced geothermal systems nationwide, with evaluation work preceding well reviews and pilot drilling toward possible commercial development.

The plan is phased. It begins with an assessment, then advances to well evaluations and pilot drilling.

The agreement describes commercial development as a possible outcome of that work. It does not establish that commercial geothermal projects are already operating under the deal.
