Greek expert Helias Konofagos talked with Fileleftheros newspaper. He stated that Cyprus and Greece should make financial and technical planning concerning the gas fields situated in the boarder area of Cyprus. He added that Greece should not stay inert concerning what is happening in the south-east of the Mediterranean. A gigantic natural gas field that could yield millions of barrels of oil was recently discovered on the maritime border between Israel, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, Cyprus, and Northern Cyprus. While it could be a military catastrophe, steps are being taken to divide the spoils. The largest section discovered so far, the Leviathan gas field is believed to possibly contain, alongside natural gas, 4.2 billion barrels of oil and 0,5 trillion m3 of natural gaz (the actual needs of Greece for the next 100 years). The imminent visit of Angela Merkel, Nicolas Sarkozy and Dmitry Medvedev in Cyprus is to plan the new energy map and new geopolitics strategy, which are about to be created. Greece should take part in this action, as well.
