Committee to Evaluate Greek Hydrocarbon Research, Exploitation Bids Set Up at Ministry

3-prinos-platform-bp-oil-deposit-reserveAn eleven-member committee to evaluate bids for hydrocarbon research and exploitation in three areas of Greece has been set up at the Ministry of Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy.
It will cover the areas of Arta and Preveza (northwestern Greece), Etoloakarnania prefecture (central Greece) and northwestern Peloponnese.
Bids were submitted on February 6 and the Ministry wants to complete their evaluation by May. The tender began after an initial expression of interest for research in the three areas by Italian-based ENEL, which did not end up participating in the tender.
Binding tenders have been submitted by Hellenic Petroleum (ELPE) for Arta-Preveza and northwestern Peloponnese, and by Energean Oil & Gas for Arta-Preveza and Etoloakarnania. In a previous tender, ELPE had assumed research in the Gulf of Patras and Energean (which is exploiting the northern Greek Prinos fields) in Katakolo and Ioannina, northwestern Greece.
Meanwhile, the deadline for submitting bids for research and exploitation of hydrocarbon beds in 20 marine areas in the Ionian Sea and the southern Cretan Sea is this May. Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis, however, has said the terms of the call for tenders must be reexamined for reasons of public interest and did not rule out the extension of the invitation for bids.
