By GlobalDataWorley CEO Chris Ashton said: “We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Chevron, drawing on our global gas development expertise and Global Integrated Delivery model to support the progression of this strategically important energy project.”
The Aphrodite gas field is spread over an area of 120km² in Block 12 of Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone, around 30km north-west of the Leviathan gas field.
The discovery well, Cyprus A-1, was drilled in September 2011 using the Homer Ferrington rig and reached a total depth of 19,225ft in water 5,860m deep.
Tests estimated gross resources at between five and eight trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas, with a gross mean value of 7tcf. The reservoir has a maximum thickness of 320m and is estimated to contain around 129 billion cubic metres of gas.
The Aphrodite development is Cyprus’ first offshore gas project and aims to achieve first gas in 2032.
In February 2025, Cyprus’ Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry, along with Chevron and joint venture partners Shell and NewMed, approved proposed modifications to the Aphrodite gas field development.
The updated development and production plan aims to expedite the technical and engineering phases, leading to the FEED and, ultimately, the final investment decision for the Aphrodite field.
