Description: This is a standard definitive circulation stamp from the Republic of Turkey, belonging to the late 1950s industry and technology series. The main illustration showcases a sprawling landscape view of the Batman Oil Refinery, dominated by a tall, central extraction derrick. To the left of the derrick, a cluster of cylindrical storage tanks is clearly detailed, while the right side displays low-profile processing facilities and infrastructure. The state name "TÜRKİYE" is printed in clean block lettering at the top-left section, balanced by the bold face value numeral "30" on the upper right. The absolute bottom margin contains a caption banner explicitly identifying the site layout as "BATMAN PETROL RAFİNERİSİ." This specimen features a light, sweeping black ink postmark or cancellation line running along the left margin and cutting vertically down the right-center portion of the refinery scene.
