Cyprus’ Cronos natural gas field is expected to be linked to Egypt’s gas infrastructure by 2027, according to a statement from Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum & Mineral Resources.

The statement was released after meetings in Cyprus attended by Karim Badawi, Egypt’s minister of petroleum and mineral resources, and George Papanastasiou, Cyprus’ minister of energy, commerce and industry, the Egyptian media has reported.

The meetings were also attended by representatives from the Italian oil and gas company Eni and France’s TotalEnergies.

"Officials are preparing to make their final investment decision (FID) for the development of the field later this year and link the field to Egyptian infrastructure, processing facilities and machinery by 2027, according to the statement," MMED Middle Easter Business Intelligence reported.

Badawi said that Egypt is ready to help complete the project and that providing a new energy corridor in the region would strengthen regional cooperation and benefit both countries.

The ministers also reviewed developments at Cyprus’ Aphrodite field, including the marine surveying of the planned gas pipeline, the report said, adding that, "The survey is currently under way in the economic waters of both Cyprus and Egypt, and is expected to pave the way for a link from Aphrodite to Egyptian facilities."
