Natural Gas Exploration and Exploitation
Prospects for Cyprus as an energy producer and exporter
■ Noble Energy International announced the first natural gas
discovery ("Aphrodite") in Block 12 in January 2012, which
was declared commercial in 2015. Current estimated
natural gas resources are in the order of 4,5 trillion cubic
feet (best estimate). The regional pipelines option seems to
be the optimal monetization alternative, under the current
economic and commercial conditions.
■ The "Aphrodite" field project opens up new investment
opportunities, including a subsea pipeline connecting
Cyprus and Egypt. An Intergovernmental Agreement
between Cyprus and Egypt has been signed.
■ The Noble Energy International / BG Cyprus / Delek Drilling
consortium is working on the development of the
"Aphrodite" gas field.
■ Other discoveries are: "Glaucus-1" in Block 10 by
ExxonMobil/QP for which preliminary estimates are of 5
trillion to 8 trillion cubic feet; "Onesiphoros West 1" in
Block 11 by TOTAL/ENI (technical discovery), and "Calypso-
1" in Block 6 by ENI/TOTAL under evaluation.
