Greece’s navy hydrographic service (HNHS), and specifically the Irakleio station, on Tuesday issued a notice to mariners (NAVTEX) of hydrocarbon surveying in two sea blocks, southwest and south of the Peloponnese province in southern Greece and the large island of Crete.
The announcement comes a day after Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis, speaking during a wide-ranging television interview, announced the development.
The contracting party conducting the seismic surveys will be ExxonMobil, with the research vessel announced as the “Sanco Swift”, contracted from Norway-based PSG.
Earlier, the state-run Hydrocarbons and Energy Resources Management Co., the national hydrocarbon and energy resources regulator, announced a series of coming steps in a program to search for natural gas deposits in Greek territorial waters and land.
