Offshore Cyprus: An Emerging AreaA promising regional geological backgroundA great number and variety of “play concepts” for Exploration associated to the different tectonic and stratigraphic domainsMany attractive major “plays” have been identifiedAn efficient regional seal: the Messinian evaporites
Very thick sedimentary basins (12-15 km)Multiple possible clastics and carbonate reservoirs14 plays and many leads of considerable sizeBig hydrocarbon discoveries in the region
