We look forward to working with the regulatory authority and the Greek government to successfully complete the licensing process,\u201d a company representative stated, adding that the eastern Mediterranean is an area of high interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"778\">Earlier on Wednesday, the Ministry of Energy announced that the Greek government had accepted Chevron\u2019s interest in exploring hydrocarbon deposits in the South Crete I and South Crete II offshore areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"770\">The ministry described this development as a game-changer, as Greece will now enter international markets with four new areas for concession. These include \u201cBlock A2,\u201d \u201cSouth of the Peloponnese,\u201d \u201cSouth of Crete 1,\u201d and \u201cSouth of Crete 2,\u201d covering a total area of 47,000 square kilometers. This effectively doubles the area of active marine zones available for exploration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1150\">The expansion of available exploration plots increases the chances of identifying \u201ccommercially exploitable\u201d hydrocarbon deposits, the ministry added in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1152\" data-end=\"1371\">Minister Stavros Papastavrou said that Chevron\u2019s interest \u201cis a vote of confidence in Greece.
