Commenting on his appointment, Aydın Yıldız said, “Energy Petrol has been one of the most respected companies in the sector for over 30 years through its superior service, reliability, and operational excellence. Our goal is to protect this strong legacy while moving the company even further ahead alongside ALKAGESTA.”
