Cyprus Hydrocarbon Opportunities
The indications of ther presence of significant quantities of hydrocarbons in the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus and the decision to proceed with their exploration may prove to be a tremendous opportunity for the island. With the EU having its own ambitious energy objectives we believe that Cyprus, if successful with its hydrocarbon exploration, can play a regional role in the achievement of Europe's energy goal.
