Egypt is putting its foot on the gas pedal in a bid to fast-track its Mediterranean energy hub ambitions by holding high-level talks with the U.S.-headquartered energy giant Chevron to secure an accelerated timeline for its infrastructure to be linked to a gas field off the coast of Cyprus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The new opportunities for Chevron to expand its gas exploration activities in the Mediterranean and acceleration of the frameworks and procedures required to finalize agreements for connecting Aphrodite to Egypt\u2019s infrastructure were among the key topics during a videoconference meeting between Karim Badawi , Egypt\u2019s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, and Javier La Rosa , President of Chevron\u2019s Base Assets and Emerging Countries, which was also attended by some of the company\u2019s senior executives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Badawi asserted the importance of accelerating the completion of the necessary procedures and agreements to connect the Aphrodite field to the country\u2019s infrastructure, supporting progress in implementing the project and maximizing the available potential for both sides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Aphrodite was discovered with the A-1 well in September 2011 and was followed by the A-2 appraisal well, drilled in 2013, which confirmed approximately 98 billion cubic meters (bcm) of contingent resource with potential for an additional 26 bcm of prospective resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The plan is to develop a system offshore Egypt for gas transmission to EGAS. Located in the area of Block 12 in Cyprus, the Aphrodite project envisions the production and processing of natural gas from the field through four production wells connected to a floating production unit (FPU) positioned over the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
