ConclusionsConclusions

Offshore Cyprus straddles the tectonic boundary between two tectonic plates, with basins displaying  different stratigraphic and structural histories.

As a result, varied and diverse basin­specific exploration plays are present.

As proven by the Aphrodite­1 well discovery, the Lower Miocene biogenic gas play (the primaryplay in the Levantine basin) occurs offshore Cyprus, to the south­east of the island (Block 12).

Additional exploration opportunities are expected in:

•Miocene­Cretaceous carbonates associated with the Eratosthenes Seamount;

• Oligocene­Miocene turbidite sands of the West Eratosthenes basin;

•Messinian & Plio­Quaternary channel sands and turbidite fans in the Herodotus basin;

•Middle Miocene to Pliocene marine sands in basins to the east associated with the Cyprian Arc  folds.
