1.INTRODUCTION
I have done my summer practice in turkish petroleum corperation. I went turkish petroleum corperation for 20 days. I started ME399 Engineering practice program on 2013 june 17th. and finished on 2013 july 12th.
The subject of the summer practice of the ME 399 is having the management and organisation of the factory and having the general information about the factory.
This is included that the structure of the organisation , number of the engineers and the number of the technical persons, employed etc... and also , knowing and having information about the working places, having experience, industrial management and organisation.
The third year summer practise is very different from the other summer practise. I think , this is more useful and necessary than the others for us. It contains some investigation, processes of industrial management and organisation. These are accounting , storage facilities, stock and production control, auxiliary services of the plant, quality control ,repair and maintenance, accounting etc...
The third year summer practise is useful to understand how the most efficient layouts of equipment and of operation and services facilities are developed, whether in manufacturing plants , warehouses or other industrial and business applications.
We learned the technical knowledge up to third year which is noticed in the organization is important. And also , a functions of the mechanical engineers , is considered in the organization . for example I saw that mechanical engineer worked, at all unit of factory (management, planing, outdoor trade ,atelier).
The subject of the lecture in the school is to be stiffen at the end of the summer practice. Also learned the position of the engineers ,managers and the structure of the organization.
I observed human relations in management , I also reclaimed that the reactions people have to their work environment are linked directly to their willingness to exert effort on be half of the organization that employ them.
2.ABOUT TPAO
TPAO was founded in 1954 by Law No. 6327 with the responsibility of being involved in hydrocarbon exploration, drilling, production, refinery and marketing activities as Turkey's national company.
Being an important actor of the national economy, TPAO achieved many “firsts” of the Turkish oil industry in the past. The Company, its history reaching back over a half century, has given rise to seventeen major companies, including PETKİM, TÜPRAŞ and POAŞ to Turkey.
Until 1983, as an integrated oil company, it was engaged in all the activity fields of oil industry from exploration to production, refinery, marketing and transportation. Today, TPAO is a national oil company involved in merely upstream (exploration, drilling, well completion and production) sector.
Registered Capital: 3 Billion TL.

5.TPAO IN TURKEY
TPAO, Turkiye’s sole national oil company, has undertaken a number of oil and natural gas exploration projects both onshore and offshore, especially in the Black Sea in recent years as part of its mission to develop domestic and international resources and meet the continuously increasing demand for oil and gas in Türkiye.
In the last 10 years, 90 % of geological survey, 84 % of geophysical survey and 59 % of the drilled wells, 71 % of oil production and 56 % of natural gas production in Türkiye were realized by TPAO.
The natural gas discovery realized in the Western Black Sea in 2004, the extensive seismic program carried out in the Black Sea in 2004-2011 years, made oil companies focus on the Black Sea. Natural gas production was initiated in Akçakoca- Çayağzı Natural Gas Process Facilities in May 2007.
In particular, ultra deep water drillings of Sinop-1 and Yassıhöyük-1 wells at the Black Sea in 2010 with “Leiv Eiriksson”, one of the biggest platforms in the world were completed and also, offshore drilling of Sürmene-1 well was completed as of 1Q of 2011. tpao’s short term goal, in the light of data obtained from 3 wells drilled, is to reveal the hydrocarbon potential in the ultra deep waters of Black Sea and to open it to the use of Turkish economy.
These huge investments realized in the Black Sea will play a strategic role.TPAO's short term objective is to realize the contribution of the Black Sea’s hydrocarbon potential to our country’s as well as the world’s economy. In the same manner, it is a great contentment for us to witness promising results from tpao’s exploration investments in the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean.
In addition to these activities in offshore fields, in order to maintain oil and gas production from “Unconventional Reservoirs”, TPAO and Transatlantic/TEMI companies signed a “Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)” on April 9th 2010. Within the scope of this MOU, TPAO continued its operations in Kepirtepe-1 in Thrace and the studies are underway. This partnership will be the first in our country for producing oil and natural gas by new methods will highly contribute to our country’s hydrocarbon demand.
In the recent years, intensive exploration activities are being carried out at onshore fields in Thrace, Central and South East Regions in addition to the activities performed at offshore areas. Considering the succesful drilling of the world’s 46th deepest well with a vertical depth of 7,216 m, TPAO was the 12th company among the leading companies of the world that can perform successful drillings in ultra deep waters by drilling of Yassıhöyük-1
In addition to these extensive activities and developments, TPAO achieved a first with the commissioning of Silivri Underground Natural Gas Storage Facilities with 2,6 bcm capacity in April 2007. TPAO’s efforts continue to increase the existing capacity of these facilities in the near future.
As the sole National Oil Company of Turkiye, TPAO is at the important position to create added value chains in Ceyhan which is expected to be one of the World’s Energy Center due to its experience over a half century in oil industry, its international experiences and being shareholders in the world wide pipeline projects such as Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) Crude Oil Pipeline and South Caucasus Natural Gas Pipeline (SCP).
6.TPAO WORLDWIDE
International activities have made TPAO an important actor in the region since the early 1990’s. TPAO conducts its international activities especially in Caspian Region (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan), North Africa (Libya) and Iraq. TPAO has been continuing to negotiate for business opportunities in other hydrocarbon rich regions such as South America, Russia and Middle East.
TPAO is currently a participant of two exploration, development and production projects which are Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli (6.75 %), Shah Deniz (9 %) in Azerbaijan. Most of the international production is from Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli Project located in offshore Azerbaijan. In addition to Azerbaijan projects, TPAO’s production has been continuing from Kazakhstan fields. TPAO conducts its activities in Kazakhstan through a joint venture company, KazakhTurkMunai (KTM) Ltd. in which TPAO holds a 49% share and KazMunaiGas has 51%.
Within the scope of Libya exploration projects, a new oil discovery in the first exploration well drilled in license area 147/3-4 in Murzuq basin was realized in 2009, which was a significant step towards the first oil production in Libya.7 out of 11 wells drilled in the basin were completed as "oil well". These discoveries rank among the first rows in the discoveries recently performed in Libya.
FİGURE 1
On the other hand, since 1994, TPAO has been working closely with the Iraqi Ministry of Oil for exploration, development and production opportunities in Iraq. In addition to TPAO’s success in first and second licensing rounds organized by the Iraqi petroleum authority PCLD (Petroleum Contracts and Licensing Directorate) in 2009 and awards of Badra and Missan Oil Fields development, TPAO has offered three bids for the Iraq’s third licensing round and has been awarded for 20 year term gas development contracts for Siba Gas Field as a partner and Mansuriya Gas Field as an operator in Iraq’s third bidding round in 2010.
TPAO has signed Development and Production Service Agreement for “Mansurai and Siba Gas Fields” in Iraq on June 5, 2011. Besides, TPIC, Subsidiary of TPAO, focused its exploration and drilling activities in the Gonzalez and Maria Conchita Blocks in Colombia.

Besides, TPAO offered holiday oppurtunities for the employees with their families in its own Social Complex in Güllük/Muğla.
8.LOCATION OF THE ORGANIZATION
The most immportant factor in selecting the location is the presence of oil or gas at the underground. So tpao have 3 District Management this are ;
- For oil ;Batman District Management and Adıyaman District Management
- And for natural gas thrace District Management.
8.1.Batman District Management
Exploration, drilling and production activities of crude oil and natural gas, which are vital inputs of national economy, have been carried out continuously since 1954. Batman District Management has an important position in oil sector as it is located in the region where the first oil discovery was realized and crude oil production was commenced.
The first oil discovery in Türkiye was realized at Raman Field, in 1945 by MTA and the first production in economical means was realized in Raman-8, well in 1948. After foundation of TPAO in 1954, Batman District Management played a leading role in the exploration, drilling, production and refinery activities of the country.
Batman District Management has also played an active role in the economic and social development of the region while conducting all these activities. Batman, before the oil discoveries, was a small village, namely Iluh.It has become an important province in South East Anatolia with these discoveries. Batman has gained a great dynamism in the economical and social areas with the discovery of oil and establishment of the refinery. Today, Batman, as being located around TPAO complex and plant, has a great deal of contribution in national economy by increasing the employment volume in the region.
8.2.Thrace District Management
TPAO initiated its exploration and drilling activities in Thrace Basin with Uluman-1 well, in 1960. As a result of the operations performed in Thrace District, the first economical natural gas discovery was made in 1970 at the Hamitabat and Kumrular Fields and the first oil discovery was realized in K.Osmancık and Deveçatak wells which were drilled in 1973-1974.
Thrace District Management’s natural gas production, new gas field discoveries, Silivri Natural Gas Storage and Çayağzı Natural Gas Process Facilities increase the contribution to the national economy more and more everyday.
Produced natural gas from the TPAO’s fields was sold to 14 companies located in the region most of which are in textile, food and glass industries. Thus, TPAO contributes to the economy of the Thrace Region by providing low-cost energy input to the industrial plants that play significant roles in the national economy.
8.3.Adıyaman District Management
In 1954, after the acceptance of Petroleum Law No: 6326, foreign companies have come to Türkiye for petroleum exploration. In 1958, the first petroleum exploration of Adıyaman Region was made by California Asiatic Oil and Texaco Overseas Petroleum at Kahta-1 well.
In Adıyaman, TPAO has realized the first oil discovery in Adıyaman Field that was put into production in 1971. After that, G.Adıyaman, K.Adıyaman and Bölükyayla (1977), Çemberlitaş (1982), Çukurtaş (1985), B.Fırat and Akpınar (1986) Fields were discovered.
In 1988, after the discovery of Karakuş Field as a result of exploration activities, G.Karakuş (1989), Cendere, K.Karakuş, Beşikli and O.Sungurlu (1990), D.Beşikli, Bakacak, Tokaris and İkizce Fields (1991) were also explored. After the exploration of these fields and enhanced production, the activities started to be carried out by District Management in 1992.
Adıyaman District Management has made a great deal of contribution to the development of social life in the region by increasing the operational efficiency in its activities and technical capacity to be helpful to the economy of the region and the country.
