It will have an annual capacity of about 0.3 to 0.45 billion cubic meters, and could be completed by 2025. \nIn June 2017, Benjamin Netanyahu described the project as “revolutionary and very promising”, following a meeting with his Greek counterpart and the Cypriot President. However, the start of construction of this pipeline is not expected to take place before the May European elections, as Rome, whose signature is required to continue the procedures, has requested that this signature should wait until after the election.\n\u00a0\nOnly hydrocarbons from the Hebrew state are concerned with this gas pipeline\u00a0\nHydrocarbon deposits have been discovered in Cyprus and Israel. For the time being, only hydrocarbons from the Hebrew state are concerned by this gas pipeline project. “Perhaps in the future we will take into account the reservations of Cyprus,” says Konstantinos Filis, a researcher in international relations. “Egypt, which currently has the largest deposit, the Zhor deposit, is not part of the picture,” he says. \nFollowing the discovery of gas reserves in Cyprus, the energy sector has seen a resurgence of activity in Greece and investigations have been carried out to discover other fields, notably in southern Crete. “The structures we studied in Greece, from the seismic lines and depth show geological structures that can be immediately compared to the structures in Cyprus and Zhor,” says Spyros Bellas, Vice-President of the Hellenic Institute for Hydrocarbon Resources. These new deposits are new markets for multinationals, particularly American ones. Mike Pompeo’s presence testifies to the strategic importance of this region of the world for the United States. \n","author":42,"featured_media":5692,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5754,5764,5761,5763,5751,5756,2961,5750,5759,5762],"location":[1021],"class_list":["post-28485","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business","tag-communities","tag-decision-makers","tag-direct-broadcasting","tag-economy","tag-employment","tag-institutions","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-israel"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"The discovery of hydrocarbons in the Eastern Mediterranean is redefining the map of world energy resources.
