Ceyhan is the transportation hub for Middle Eastern and Central Asian oil and natural gas.

Ceyhan has a Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csa)[4] with very hot, muggy summers with low precipitation, and mild, rainy winters.

Ceyhan's marine transport terminal is the Mediterranean terminus of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline (the "BTC") which brings crude oil from the landlocked Caspian Sea across Azerbaijan and Georgia, and entering Turkey in the northeast.

Ceyhan Terminal is also the destination of Kirkuk–Ceyhan Oil Pipeline but this was closed in 2024 due to a payment dispute.

There are three services daily to Adana Central Station to connect to the western destinations; Mersin, Ankara, Karaman and Kayseri.
