The Greek energy ministry has approved the applications of a consortium of Total, ExxonMobil and Hellenic Petroleum oil and gas exploration off the island on Crete.
The ministry also confirmed that in a separate deal, Energean Oil and Gas had an application approved for drilling offshore in western Greece.
The country’s oil and gas resources management company will launch a tender for licences to drill in the respective areas by the end of next month.
They aim to complete the process by the end of this year.
