The development and production plan for the “aphrodite” natural gas field
The Development and Production Plan for the “Aphrodite” natural gas field was submitted on Wednesday afternoon to Cyprus` Ministry of Energy by the partners in Block “12” of the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Noble Energy International Ltd, Delek Drilling Limited Partnership and Avner Oil Exploration Limited Partnership, holders of a license for the exploration of hydrocarbons in Block 12, also submitted the Aphrodite development Plan to the Tel Aviv stock exchange on Wednesday.
The Aphrodite field has been declared commercial by the three companies that own the rights.
The Development and Production Plan is expected to include the companies` proposal with regard to the method and the timeline for development and production, as well as the planning for the sales and marketing of the hydrocarbons.
