The drilling will start by the end of this summer in gas field numbered of economic zone (EEZ) of Cyprus. From the official statement by the Minister of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism George Lakkotrypis: "In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding, Cyprus aspires to act in the direction of searching all possible cooperation related to the valorization (the activities undertaken by the revaluation or higher cost) of its own gas resources, with this priority is given to exploring the possibility of construction of the onshore plant to liquefy natural gas (LNG).”
He also noted that the studying of field area 9 and the formation of gas below it called Onasagoras, has revealed high hopes for the government. Soon this site will start assembling the rig, which will arrive from the country of Mozambique.
