据挪威《上游在线》1月24日米兰报道，意大利能源巨头埃尼公司周四在一份声明中表示，该公司日前获得了塞浦路斯的3个海上区块，这标志着埃尼公司将进入地中海东部岛国有希望但存在争议的海上远景区。
声明说，塞浦路斯周四正式把区块2、区块3和区块9授予了一个由埃尼公司和韩国天然气公司（Kogas）组成的国际财团。在这个国际财团中，担任作业者的埃尼公司拥有80%的股份，而Kogas拥有20%的股份。
这3个区块的总面积为12530平方公里，它们位于资源丰富但大部分没有开发的黎凡特盆地的深水部分。塞浦路斯的邻国以色列在过去10年里在黎凡特盆地发现了几个世界最大天然气田。

Eni confirms Cyprus awards
24 January 2013 08:37 GMT/UpstreamOnline.com
Eni has confirmed the award of three blocks off Cyprus to mark its entry into the east Mediterranean island’s prospective – but controversial – offshore play.
The tracts – blocks 2, 3 and 9 – were formally awarded on Thursday to a consortium led by the Italian giant with an operated stake of 80% with South Korean partner Kogas on 20%, Eni said in a statement.
The blocks cover a total area of 12,530 square kilometres in the deep portion of the resource-rich but largely untapped Levant basin, where neighbouring Israel has reported some of the world's largest natural gas finds of the past decade.
