French energy giant TOTAL is expected to start exploratory drilling in block 11 of the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone on July 14.
Block 11 covers some 2,958 square kilometres and the drill site is 150 km off the coast of Cyprus.
Before any exploratory work begins, a 4400-metre diameter area around the site will be explored for objects of archaeological interest.
It has already received a positive environmental report stating that there are no endangered species or sensitive biotopes in the area and one state service after the other is issuing the relative licences required
