Already reliant on around 1bn cfd of pipeline gas imports from Israel, Egypt imported 1.1mn tons of LNG in the low-demand Q1 period according to Kpler, putting it well on course to smash last year’s seven-year high 2.5mn tons.

    US major ExxonMobil’s highly prospective Elektra well on Cyprus’ Block 5 has failed to discover commercial quantities of gas, MEES learns.

An official statement from Nicosia will be made next week. Neither Exxon nor the Cyprus Ministry of Energy responded to a request for comment.
