Energean’s working interest in the block is currently 75%, including the 25% working interest acquired through the acquisition of Edison Exploration and Production (E&P).
The remaining 25% is owned by Hellenic Petroleum.
The latest 50% acquisition from Total provides Energean with additional exploration opportunities in the Eastern Mediterranean, which is the company’s core area.
In a press statement, Energean stated: “Work on the licence to date has identified that it contains part of a large four-way dip closure that is covered by 2D seismic and represents a potential future drilling prospect.
