據(jù)OE網(wǎng)站4月15日報道，希臘碳?xì)浠衔镂瘑T會（Hydrogens commission）的一名高級管理人員周四表示，隨著雅典加快天然氣勘探，以減少對大國能源的依賴，希臘可能擁有超過6000億立方米的可采天然氣儲量。

希臘每年約60億立方米的能源消耗中，近40%來自能源大國出口天然氣。

希臘碳?xì)浠衔镂瘑T會首席執(zhí)行官Aristofanis Stefatos在接受路透社采訪時表示，就儲量而言，我們目前的估計是，85%的暫測總儲量實際上是天然氣。對目標(biāo)的初步評估表明，初步可采資源量超過6000億立方米.

通過勘測船收集地震數(shù)據(jù)是天然氣勘探確定潛在儲量的關(guān)鍵步驟。希臘的目標(biāo)是到2023年3月完成第一輪所有地震研究。

道達(dá)爾、?？松梨诤拖ＥD石油（Hellenic Petroleum）組成的一個財團(tuán)，獲得了在克里特島附近兩個區(qū)塊進(jìn)行勘探的許可，目前尚未完成該程序。

環(huán)保組織還呼吁有關(guān)部門對克里特島附近天然氣勘探的環(huán)境影響進(jìn)行評估，稱該評估沒有包括地震勘察對海洋哺乳動物的影響，勘探的潛在風(fēng)險超過了任何利益。正在等待法院裁決。

Stefatos表示，這些論點主要基于法律技術(shù)細(xì)節(jié)，委員會對贏得此案“相當(dāng)樂觀”。

希臘的首要任務(wù)是尋找天然氣而不是石油，他稱，這消除了石油泄漏的可能性，并將任何環(huán)境風(fēng)險降至最低。

在大力發(fā)展可再生能源的同時，將天然氣視為一種過渡燃料的希臘過去曾生產(chǎn)過少量石油，并試圖開發(fā)其碳?xì)浠衔餄摿Α?/p>

但由于轉(zhuǎn)向綠色能源以及缺乏政治意愿，該公司的勘探計劃陷入停滯。

Stefatos表示，推動希臘上游行業(yè)發(fā)展的緊迫感發(fā)生了變化。既然價格和市場需求已恢復(fù)到較高水平。我們具備加速所有這些努力的市場條件。

Greek Recoverable Gas Reserves Seen Topping 600 bcm

Greece could be sitting on tentative recoverable gas reserves of more than 600 billion cubic meters, a senior executive of its hydrocarbons commission said on Thursday, as Athens accelerates gas exploration to cut its reliance on Russian energy.

Greece covers nearly 40% of its annual energy consumption of about six billion cubic meters with gas.

"Volume-wise, our estimates right now are that 85% of tentative total reserves are actually natural gas," the Chief Executive Officer of Greece's hydrocarbons commission Aristofanis Stefatos told Reuters in an interview.

"Preliminary evaluations of targets suggest more than 600 bcm (billion cubic meters) of tentative recoverables," he said.

Collecting seismic data through survey vessels is a key step in gas exploration to identify potential reserves. Greece aims to conclude a first round of all seismic research by March 2023.

A consortium of TotalEnergies, Exxon Mobil, and Hellenic Petroleum, licensed to explore at two blocks off Crete, has not concluded the process yet.

Environmental groups have also appealed an assessment by authorities on the environmental impact of gas exploration off Crete, saying it fails to include the impact of seismic surveys on sea mammals and that the potential risk of exploration outweighed any benefits. A court ruling is pending.

Stefatos said the arguments were based mainly on legal technicalities and the commission was "quite optimistic" of winning the case.

Greece's priority is to look for gas and not for oil, he said: "This eliminates the possibility of an oil spill and minimizes any environmental risks".

Greece, which views gas as a transition fuel as it ramps up renewables, has produced small quantities of oil in the past and has attempted to explore its hydrocarbon potential.

But a shift to green energy and lack of political will have stalled its exploration plans.

"What has changed is the sense of urgency to push ahead with the development of Greece's upstream sector," Stefatos said.

"Now that prices and market demand have returned to high levels ... we have the market conditions for an acceleration of all these efforts."
