- Noble Energy (NYSE:NBL) says it could launch a fresh appraisal of natural gas resources off Cyprus next year and look for new hydrocarbon sources in the same area.
- An appraisal drilling to verify the 2011 find has yielded on average 4.1T cu. ft. of gas, Noble's Israel partners Delek Drilling (OTC:DKDRF) and Avner Oil (OTCPK:AVOGF) said last week, lower than the 5T cu. ft. announced in October soon after the conclusion of the appraisal on the well.
- Based on the assessment of data, NBL could by April 2014 decide on where a fresh exploratory drill will take place.
