Energean Drilling Program Discovers More Gas Off Israel
(Reuters) — Eastern Mediterranean-focused oil and gas producer Energean has made a commercial discovery at its Zeus exploration well off the coast of Israel and upgraded its neighboring Athena discovery, it said on Monday.
Energean's shares rose by nearly 4% to 16 pounds by 0927 GMT for their highest since the company listed in London in 2018.
Athena could be linked to the floating production and storage vessel (FPSO) Energean uses to send gas to the Israeli market from its flagship Karish field.
Energean has also floated the idea of a new development of fields in what it calls the Olympus area, which might also send gas to Egypt. The company said it expects to be able to tell investors more about its development plans early next year.
Preliminary estimates indicate that Zeus holds 13.3 billion cubic meters (Bcm) of gas, just above pre-drill estimates, but Energean is still analyzing results.
Athena's 8 Bcm discovery was announced in May, falling short of a previous 21 Bcm estimate, but Energean said on Monday that its reserve auditor DeGolyer & MacNaughton has upgraded that to 11.75 Bcm after further data analysis.
