The importance of a new natural gas discovery off the coast of Cyprus
A new natural gas discovery off Cyprus’ southern coast that’s estimated to contain around 2.5 trillion cubic feet of the hydrocarbon has observers debating whether this can unlock additional potential for the East Med and provide further gas supplies to Europe as the continent grapples with an energy crisis. The discovery was made at the Cronos-1 well in the Cypriot EEZ by partners Eni of Italy and France’s Total. Dr. Theodoros Tsakiris joins Thanos Davelis to break down the importance of this discovery both for Cyprus and the region.
Dr. Theodoros Tsakiris is associate professor of geopolitics and energy policy at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus.
