US Under Secretary of Energy visits Energean's facilities, offshore Greece
On Sunday, September 9, 2018, Energean (LSE: ENOG) was pleased to host the Honourable Mr. Mark Menezes, the U.S. Department of Energy Under Secretary of Energy, at its offshore facilities in Kavala, Eastern Macedonia, Greece.
The U.S. Delegation was given a tour of the Prinos Oil Field platforms and the Energean owned Energean Force drilling rig, currently drilling an extended reach well into the Epsilon Oil Field, and the GSP Jupiter jack up rig, which is currently drilling the first of three vertical development wells in the Epsilon Oil Field.
After concluding his visit to Prinos, Under Secretary Mark Menezes said:
"Achieving energy security for each of our respective countries is made possible by doing everything we can to embrace energy diversity. The Trump Administration, Secretary Perry, and the U.S. Department of Energy support more robust energy, economic, and security ties with Greece, with southeast Europe, and with the entire continent because a strong, vibrant Trans-Atlantic relationship is vital for all of our nations."
Mr. Dimitris Gontikas, Vice President and Managing Director of Energean Greece, said:
"It was a great honour to host Under Secretary Menezes and his distinguished company at Greece's sole hydrocarbon producing facilities which are owned and operated by Energean, and which have an excellent HSE record. We are proud that through our investment in Prinos Oil Field rejuvenation, our Company has led the way towards a new era in Greece's hydrocarbon history, and supported the Greek State in its decision to expand E&P activity in new areas in Western Greece, the Ionian Sea and offshore Crete."
