“Large
Russian companies will participate in tenders to explore Greek
deepwater oil and natural gas following an extension of the bidding
process until July, Greek Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis said
Tuesday.”
“The
conference was held following Lafazanis’ talks with Russian Energy
Minister Alexander Novak and head of Russian energy giant Gazprom
Alexey Miller. Greek authorities have prolonged the bidding time for
oil and gas exploration on 20 offshore blocks in the Ionian Sea and
off southern Crete for additional two months, till July 14.”
“The
decision was made in order to increase the interest of companies to
the exploitation of energy resources in these marine areas. Earlier,
Norwegian company PGS carried out research in the Ionian Sea and
south of Crete.”
