Derkim Poliüretan San. ve Tic. A.Ş. is primarily a chemicals company in Turkey, with its core business in polyurethane, polyurea, polyester, and related raw materials and systems.
Derkim’s oil and gas operations are limited to holding exploration licences in southeastern Turkey and entering into farm-in/joint-venture partnerships with companies such as Trillion Energy and GYP Energy.
The company participates in upstream oil and gas via exploration licenses. In particular it holds the licence AR/DEP/K/M47-c3, c4 covering an area spanning parts of Mardin and Şırnak provinces, and it is the main licence holder for that block.
In July 2023 Derkim entered into a farm-out agreement with Trillion Energy to allow Trillion to earn a 50% working & revenue interest in three oil exploration blocks in the Cudi-Gabar petroleum province (including those blocks AR/DEP/K/M47-c3, c4). Under that deal, Trillion must carry out seismic acquisition (351 km of 2D seismic, in 2023) and drill 4 wells in 2024. In 2024 Derkim transferred 20 % of its interest in that licence (the AR/DEP/K/M47-c3, c4 blocks) to GYP Energy (Güney Yıldızı Petrol Üretim Sondaj ve Ticaret A.Ş.), so Derkim now holds ~80% and GYP holds 20%.
