专注于东地中海的石油和天然气生产商 Energean 于 11 月 7 日表示，其在以色列海岸附近的 Zeus 勘探井获得了商业发现，并升级了邻近的 Athena 发现井。

截至格林威治标准时间 0927 年，Energean 股价上涨近 4%，至 16 英镑，创下该公司 2018 年在伦敦上市以来的最高水平。

Athena 可能与 Energean 的 FPSO 相连，用于从其旗舰产品卡里什油田 (Karish Field) 向以色列市场输送天然气。

Energean 还提出了在所谓的奥林匹斯地区开发新油田的想法，该地区也可能向埃及输送天然气。该公司表示，预计明年初能够向投资者透露更多有关其发展计划的信息。

初步估计表明 Zeus 拥有 13.3 Bcm 的气体，略高于钻探前的估计，但 Energean 仍在分析结果。

Athena 于 5 月宣布发现了 8 Bcm，低于之前估计的 21 Bcm，但 Energean 于 11 月 7 日表示，其储量审计员 DeGolyer & MacNaughton 在进一步数据分析后已将其上调至 11.75 Bcm。

Eastern Mediterranean-focused oil and gas producer Energean has made a commercial discovery at its Zeus exploration well off the coast of Israel and upgraded its neighboring Athena discovery, it said on Nov. 7.

Energean’s shares rose by nearly 4% to 16 pounds by 0927 GMT for their highest since the company listed in London in 2018.

Athena could be linked to the FPSO Energean uses to send gas to the Israeli market from its flagship Karish Field.

Energean has also floated the idea of a new development of fields in what it calls the Olympus area, which might also send gas to Egypt. The company said it expects to be able to tell investors more about its development plans early next year.

Preliminary estimates indicate that Zeus holds 13.3 Bcm of gas, just above pre-drill estimates, but Energean is still analyzing results.

Athena’s 8 Bcm discovery was announced in May, falling short of a previous 21 Bcm estimate, but Energean said on Nov. 7 that its reserve auditor DeGolyer & MacNaughton has upgraded that to 11.75 Bcm after further data analysis.
