Italian ENI and French TotalEnergies have approved the final investment decision for the Kronos natural gas field located in Block 6, which southern Cyprus unilaterally declared, in a move described by Admiral Cem Gürdeniz as a blatant violation of Turkey's continental shelf.
ENI estimates the field's reserves at 85 billion cubic metres of gas, with production planned to begin in 2028 through the Zohr facilities in Egypt, after which the liquefied gas will be shipped to Europe via the Port of Damietta.
Admiral Gürdeniz warned of what he described as a 'siphon effect,' stating that intensive production from the south 'will lower reservoir pressure and drive gas toward production wells' if the geological structure extends into the area claimed by Ankara, adding that this process is technically 'reservoir drainage and pressure depletion.'
Gürdeniz affirmed that Blocks 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 unilaterally declared by southern Cyprus represent a blatant violation of Turkey's continental shelf, and called for an immediate response.
