Houston-based Noble Energy plans to start drilling for 'sizable quantities of gas' off the coast of Cyprus later this year.

摘要

If drilling is successful, Noble added that it is considering constructing a pipeline to bring the gas to Cyprus. Israeli company Delek is a partner of Noble, which has reported large reserves of natural gas in two Israeli offshore fields. Delek and its Texan partner announced the discovery of 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Leviathan gas field some 60 kilometers from Cyprus's exclusive economic zone.
