Eni, TotalEnergies Find Gas in Cronos-1 Well Offshore Cyprus
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eni (E - Free Report) and TotalEnergies (TTE - Free Report) made a significant natural gas discovery in the Cronos-1 well off Cyprus’ coast.
In May, Eni and TotalEnergies started drilling activities at the Cronos-1 prospect using Vantage Drilling’s Tungsten Explorer drillship. The well was drilled in Block 6, about 160 kilometers offshore Cyprus.
Cronos-1 is the fourth exploration well drilled by Eni and the second well in Block 6. The latest find follows the Calypso-1 gas discovery made on the same block four years ago.
Eni operates the block with a 50% stake, while TotalEnergies owns the rest. According to preliminary estimates, the find holds 2.5 trillion cubic feet of gas in place, with significant additional potential in the area. Another exploration well is planned to be drilled on Block 6 to explore significant additional resource upside in the area, per TotalEnergies.
The Cronos-1 well encountered an important gas column in a carbonate reservoir sequence of fair to excellent properties, with an overall net pay of more than 260 meters. Studies on fast development opportunities are currently in progress.
The successful exploration well at Cronos-1 demonstrates TotalEnergies’ exploration strategy, which focuses on discovering resources with low technical cost and low carbon emissions, and contributing to energy security.
Eni has been present in Cyprus since 2013 and operates Blocks 2, 3, 6, 8 and 9. The company also has ownership interests in Blocks 7 and 11 operated by TotalEnergies. The Cronos-1 discovery is part of Eni’s attempts to provide further gas supply to Europe. The discovery drives the development of further potential gas volumes in the region.
