Does anybody know what this "Tamar" shown on the map is?
Looks as if it's an island :!:


It's a name given to one of the Israeli gas fields.

Looking at that pretty map, it strikes me that we are still talking about one field out of 13. We are just at the beginning. Who knows what lurks beneath those seas?

While the Peri-Peri is still stuck in Famagusta. Things are moving on ...

NATURAL GAS – SECOND LICENCING ROUND

Cyprus is stepping up procedures for the second hydrocarbon licensing round in the country`s Exclusive Economic Zone, Minister of Commerce, Industry and Tourism Praxoula Antoniadou has told CNA, adding that decisions on this issue are expected before the end of 2011.

Antoniadou was commenting on press reports that the Ministerial Committee dealing with the issue of hydrocarbon exploration decided to expedite the second hydrocarbon licensing round in offshore blocks.

``What is certain is that the next steps with regard to the exploitation of possible hydrocarbon reserves are being discussed at a high political level as well as at the level of the Ministerial Committee,`` she said.

``What is currently under discussion is how to expedite procedures so we can proceed with the second licensing round soon,`` she explained.
