In a recent update, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis highlighted the importance of agreements signed with the joint venture Chevron – Helleniq Energy for hydrocarbon research in the southern regions of Peloponnese and Crete. He pointed out that this development, along with the first exploratory drilling scheduled for early 2027 in the maritime area referred to as 'Block 2' in the Ionian Sea, represents significant milestones in natural gas exploration after 40 years.
Mitsotakis articulated that these initiatives not only enhance Greece's geopolitical position in the region but also secure the nation's interests against those who challenge its sovereign rights. The government's focus on energy security reflects a broader strategy to capitalize on natural resources while upholding national integrity in a complex geopolitical landscape.
