EDEY, the Greek Hydrocarbon Management Company, is now establishing a reinforced scientific team to be tasked with delivering findings, in seven months, of surveys conducted at offshore areas in the Ionian Sea and south of Crete as well as onshore location in the country’s north.

The effort will entail reexamining older data produced by previous surveys. In addition, the reinforced team will also conduct preliminary methane hydrate studies for methane molecules, which could represent a future fuel, according to the scientific community.

One the new team’s research has been completed, EDEY will be in a position to present its results at international conferences and work groups in an effort to attract offshore and onshore exploration and production investments.
