Maden ve Petrol İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü

What Maden ve Petrol İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü does

Maden ve Petrol İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü (MAPEG) is the General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum Affairs of the Republic of Turkey, operating as a state entity under the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanlığı). Headquartered in Beştepe, Ankara, MAPEG holds exclusive statutory authority over all mining and petroleum licensing, permitting, inspection, and reporting activities across Turkey's 81 provinces under Mining Law No. 3213 and the Turkish Petroleum Law. It serves roughly 18,500 mining license holders, 3,100 Authorized Legal Entities (YTK), and 7,000 certified Permanent Supervisors (Daimi Nezaretçi), in addition to petroleum license holders and aggregate producers.

MAPEG's core digital product is the e-Maden platform (launched 2019, fully operational 2020), a web-based mining operations management system comprising 19 external modules with 133 processes and 38 internal modules with 202 sub-processes, integrated with the national e-Devlet portal. Supporting systems include MAPUZEM (remote training for professional certification), TÜVEK (national geological data and drill core bank), UMREK (mineral resources/reserves reporting aligned to JORC/PERC standards), TÜRMES (rehabilitated mine site catalog covering 13,246 hectares and 23.89 million trees planted), and a mobile dispatch notes (sevk fişi) application. The platform is built on ArcGIS/Esri GIS, GeoServer-based OGC-compliant spatial services (WCS/WMS/WFS), and integrates bidirectionally with 18+ government systems via KamuNet web services (MERNİS, MERSİS, TAKBİS, UYAP, YÖK, SGK, TUCBS, GİB, DSİ, etc.).

As a state directorate, MAPEG does not operate as a commercial enterprise. It is funded through Turkish government budget allocations and earns limited statutory fees: license fees under Article 13 of Mining Law No. 3213 (variable by license group and area), annual rehabilitation fees on operating licenses, and training program fees (2,750 TL per Daimi Nezaretçi application, 3,500 TL per YTK application, each valid for five years). Customer segments span mining operators, petroleum license holders, mining engineers, aggregate producers, and exploration companies, all of which interact with MAPEG through mandatory regulatory touchpoints.

Core offering

Maden ve Petrol İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü (MAPEG) operates as Turkey's central government regulatory authority for mining and petroleum activities, operating under the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. It administers mineral rights licensing, exploration and operating permits, geological surveys, mine inspection and rehabilitation, and certification of mineral resources/reserves through its digital e-Maden platform and affiliated institutions (MAPUZEM, TÜVEK, UMREK, TÜRMES).

Product overview

Maden ve Petrol İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü (MAPEG) operates a portfolio of digital government services centered on the e-Maden platform, which is the primary electronic system for managing all mining and petroleum licensing, permitting, inspection, and reporting in Turkey. The e-Maden platform (Elektronik Madencilik İşlemleri Yönetim Bilgi Sistemi) serves as the unified digital channel — integrated into the national e-Devlet (turkiye.gov.tr) portal — through which mining companies, licensed professionals (Daimi Nezaretçi), and Authorized Legal Entities (YTK) interact with the government for license applications, renewals, inspections, dispatch notes (sevk fişi), and compliance reporting. Supporting the core platform are MAPUZEM for professional certification training, TÜVEK for the national geological data and drill core repository, UMREK for mineral resource and reserve reporting standards, TÜRMES for mine site rehabilitation tracking, and a Mobile Dispatch Notes (Mobil Sevk Fişi) app for field operations.

Direct peers

• Bureau of Land Management (BLM): U.S. federal agency that manages public lands and regulates mining, energy, and mineral leasing on federal acreage. Most direct functional analog to MAPEG in terms of granting/revoking mining leases, collecting royalties, and overseeing inspection and reclamation across a large national footprint.
• Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE): U.S. federal regulator responsible for safety and environmental oversight of offshore oil and gas operations. Comparable to MAPEG on the petroleum side, particularly given MAPEG's petroleum licensing, production monitoring, and reserve reporting functions.
• MTA Genel Müdürlüğü (General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration): Turkey's national geological survey and exploration agency under the same Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. Operates the geological data and mapping functions (geodesy, cartography) that feed directly into MAPEG's TÜVEK repository, and shares KamuNet data exchange with MAPEG.
• United States Geological Survey (USGS): U.S. national geological survey providing mineral resource assessments, geological mapping, and core/sample archiving. Closest international analog to MAPEG's TÜVEK and resource reporting functions, with comparable scientific publication and standards-setting roles.

Others

• Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC): Australasian mineral reserves and resources reporting code, also explicitly referenced by UMREK as an alignment target. Closest international peer in terms of a single national/regional code that has become a de facto global standard for mining disclosure.
• Pan-European Reserves and Resources Reporting Committee (PERC): Regional mineral reporting standards body explicitly referenced by MAPEG's UMREK as an alignment target. Comparable in mission and governance structure (multi-national committee maintaining a public reporting standard).
• e-Devlet (turkiye.gov.tr): Turkey's national e-government gateway into which e-Maden is integrated. Comparable in delivery model (single sign-on, modular agency services, KamuNet back-end) and useful as a benchmark for how MAPEG's platform is positioned within the broader Turkish digital public infrastructure.
• CRIRSCO (Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards): International umbrella body that aligns JORC, PERC, SAMREC, CIM, UMREK, and other national reporting codes. Directly comparable to the role MAPEG plays through UMREK in bringing Turkey into the international mineral reporting standards framework.
