Reflection seismology

According to Deputy Minister Alexandra Sdoukou seismic surveys in the licensed areas were completed by 2023 and now their analysis is underway

Helleniq Energy is 12 to 18 months away from deciding whether to go ahead with drilling in the Ionian Sea and off the coast of the western Peloponnese, the CEO of the Greek petroleum firm told the Delphi Economic Forum on Thursday, adding that while the shift to greener forms of energy will happen, a "realistic plan" is needed in the meantime.

The first solid data from seismic research conducted in the Ionian Sea and the sea region west-southwest of Crete will be available by the end of 2023 and this data will be the basis on which a decision on whether to carry out exploratory drilling will be made, hydrocarbon industry sources said on Monday.

The first reliable findings from seismic research in the Ionian Sea and an area west-southwest off the coast of Crete will be available by the end of 2023 and this data will determine whether exploratory drilling will be carried out, hydrocarbon industry sources said on Monday.

The Foreign Ministry has sent the Libyan embassy in Athens a note verbale rejecting accusations that the Sanco Swift research vessel is acting illegally.

After the Athens-Rome agreement on the continental shelf signed two years ago, seismic surveys will begin in the marine "block 2" - Ionian Sea - to identify potential hydrocarbon targets.

New seismic surveys are coming to offshore blocks that have been granted by the Greek state to oil companies to locate possible natural gas deposits.

The first drilling is expected to take place at the land concession of Ioannina and the sea "block 2" located Northwest of Corfu, which will give the first picture of the size of the natural gas deposits in Greece.

Seismic analysis activities will be conducted in a 10,000-square-meter area in the Black Sea for new natural gas discoveries, Energy Minister Fatih Dönmez told a group of journalists on March 3.

"We are aiming to drill a new exploratory well in one of the gas fields that is deemed to have potential," Dönmez said.

Turkey on Tuesday issued a navigational telex, or Navtex, for seismic exploration within the contours of its continental shelf through June 21.

According to the telex, issued by the Antalya station, survey work will be conducted by the Oruc Reis, Ataman and Cengiz Han vessels.
