The Continuous Energy Crisis The Continuous Energy Crisis of the 21st Centuryof the 21st Century
Oil almost $150, then fell to below $40…headlines rule … “crisis”
OPEC has little excess capacity “behind the valve”, Venezuela, Nigeria, IraqChina still grows in economy and ener
Oil went over $100 (predicted for late 2010 - early 2011 in March 2010.) Middle East is the exclamation mark! Will be back over $100 soon.

A Plan for Cyprus and Eastern Mediterranean Oil and Gas
Michael J. Economides
March 2012
Overriding Philosophy
• Investment not welfare giveaways
• Control money influx to keep prices down
• Common Cypriots benefit from:– Direct investment through the IPO
– Through local companies participating in exploration and production
– Jobs through re‐investments
Levant Basin Prospect Area
Bulk Estimates
• Israel, total recoverable: 50 Tcf
• Eastern Mediterranean: 200 Tcf – USGS estimate
• My own analog for Cyprus: 50‐75 Tcf
What is a Tcf?
• Trillion cubic feet
• One billion thousand cubic feet (million Btu)
• 50 Tcf, means that ultimate recovery 50 Billion MBtu, at $8 translates to $400 billion from just the gas
• Cyprus needs about 100 million scf per day for electricity. 1 Tcf will provide 27 years of electricity.
Levantine Basin
Sequence of NOC events
• Cyprus NOC is launched immediately– Search for CEO (difficult to find at the required level) – likely a foreigner – politically problematic – if Cypriot, will be inexperienced – will need advising
– Need to staff NOC. Thematic coverage in E&P
• Legal framework of NOC– Cyprus oil and gas law
– Types of agreements
Use Norway Model with Petrobras Modification
• 70 percent of NOC owned by Cyprus Sovereign Fund – Council of Ministers, Board of Directors
• 30 percent into an IPO on the basis of just the Aphrodite results. London, New York and Cypriot Stock Exchanges. Should raise $10 billion, minimum– Use the funds to finance infrastructure and participate actively in oil and gas development
Sequence of Development Events• Facilitate the immediate construction of 8 in. gas pipeline from Israel’s Tamar (under fast development) to transport 100 MMScf/d, enough for 600 MW of electricity production. (About $500 million) Delek is interested
• Cyprus targets its zones for commercial development, not for gas for own use
Sequence of Developments (Cont.)
• Unitize with Israel, facilitate aggressively their LNG development from Leviathan , three trains, about 20 MTPA (about 3 Bcf/d) , two 36 in. pipelines– Estimated costs $15‐ $20 billion from development banks (China Development Bank?)
– Significant security implications for decades
– Neutralizes Turkey
