Expressions of interest will be accepted through August, with the goal of ratifying a contract in Parliament by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The minister clarified that the targeted area lies entirely outside any zones claimed by Turkey, stressing there is no legal basis for objections from Ankara. Chevron\u2019s interest, he added, followed thorough geological and geopolitical assessments.<\/p>\n<p>On the Greece-Cyprus electricity interconnector, Papastavrou called it a critical but complex project requiring discretion and careful planning. He voiced optimism about its progress.<\/p>\n<p>Cyprus\u2019 Energy Minister George Papanastasiou echoed the sentiment, highlighting the project\u2019s significance as the EU\u2019s largest energy project of common interest, backed by \u20ac657 million in funding. He expressed confidence that diplomacy would address any geopolitical risks, with the EU offering continued support.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n            document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n            setTimeout(function () {\n                !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                    if (f.fbq) return;\n                    n = f.fbq = function () {\n                        n.callMethod ?\n                            n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n                    };\n                    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                    n.push = n;\n                    n.loaded = !0;\n                    n.version = '2.0';\n                    n.queue = [];\n                    t = b.createElement(e);\n                    t.async = !0;\n                    t.src = v;\n                    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n                }(window, document, 'script',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n                fbq('init', '109138906120213');\n                fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            }, 0)\n        };\n        document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/economy\/1266644\/greece-preparing-hydrocarbon-exploration-tender\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AMNA] Greece will be publishing a tender for offshore hydrocarbon exploration in the Official Journal of the European Union by the end of April, following an expression of interest from US energy giant Chevron for areas south of Crete, Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou said on Thursday, speaking at the 10th edition of the Delphi Economic &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Greece to publish hydrocarbon exploration tender by end-April\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/2025\/04\/10\/greece-to-publish-hydrocarbon-exploration-tender-by-end-april\/#more-6374\" aria-label=\"Read more about Greece to publish hydrocarbon exploration tender by end-April\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6375,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/amna-papastavrou-delphi-960x600.jpg?v=1744280427","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","no-featured-image-padding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in-greece.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
