据OE网站4月15日报道，希腊碳氢化合物委员会（Hydrogens commission）的一名高级管理人员周四表示，随着雅典加快天然气勘探，以减少对大国能源的依赖，希腊可能拥有超过6000亿立方米的可采天然气储量。
希腊每年约60亿立方米的能源消耗中，近40%来自能源大国出口天然气。
希腊碳氢化合物委员会首席执行官Aristofanis Stefatos在接受路透社采访时表示，就储量而言，我们目前的估计是，85%的暂测总储量实际上是天然气。对目标的初步评估表明，初步可采资源量超过6000亿立方米.
通过勘测船收集地震数据是天然气勘探确定潜在储量的关键步骤。希腊的目标是到2023年3月完成第一轮所有地震研究。
道达尔、埃克森美孚和希腊石油（Hellenic Petroleum）组成的一个财团，获得了在克里特岛附近两个区块进行勘探的许可，目前尚未完成该程序。
环保组织还呼吁有关部门对克里特岛附近天然气勘探的环境影响进行评估，称该评估没有包括地震勘察对海洋哺乳动物的影响，勘探的潜在风险超过了任何利益。正在等待法院裁决。
Stefatos表示，这些论点主要基于法律技术细节，委员会对赢得此案“相当乐观”。
希腊的首要任务是寻找天然气而不是石油，他称，这消除了石油泄漏的可能性，并将任何环境风险降至最低。
在大力发展可再生能源的同时，将天然气视为一种过渡燃料的希腊过去曾生产过少量石油，并试图开发其碳氢化合物潜力。
但由于转向绿色能源以及缺乏政治意愿，该公司的勘探计划陷入停滞。
Stefatos表示，推动希腊上游行业发展的紧迫感发生了变化。既然价格和市场需求已恢复到较高水平。我们具备加速所有这些努力的市场条件。

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."
