Chevron started its seabed survey operations in early summer, adhering to the timetable for the construction of a strategic pipeline that will connect the Aphrodite gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean to Egypt, according to a statement by the government of Cyprus.
The Cypriot President, Nikos Christodoulides, met with Chevron CEO Mike Wirth and Clay Neff, President of International Exploration and Production, in Texas, US, to discuss energy developments in the Eastern Mediterranean. The discussion focused on the development of the Aphrodite gas field and its strategic importance for Cyprus.
President Christodoulides confirmed the significance of the development and utilization of the Aphrodite field, considering it a top priority for Cyprus, and essential for strengthening regional energy security.
Egypt signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Cyprus and Chevron during the Egypt Energy Show 2025 in Cairo. The agreement lays the foundation for the commercial use of natural gas from the Aphrodite field in Block 12 of Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
