CHC’s Geoscience Lead Efthymios Efthymiou also participated in a panel discussion on the topic of “East Med Gas Potential: Additional Reserves to be found and exploited”. Mr Efthymiou presented the East Mediterranean region as an attractive exploration area with remaining potential. He further explained that the complex geology and complex seismic imaging will make exploration more challenging, and to overcome these challenges and find and consequently produce the hydrocarbons strong partnerships are needed between the East Med countries and also between the companies that are active in the region.
