Chevron to continue with Cypriot Aphrodite gas field commercialization, says minister


NICOSIA, July 25 (Xinhua) -- The United States' second-biggest energy company Chevron has assured it will honor arrangements made between Cyprus and Noble Energy company for the commercialization of a gas field in the eastern Mediterranean, Cypriot Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism Minister Natasa Pilides said Saturday.

Pilides said last week that she was uncertain as to whether Chevron would proceed with work needed to develop Aphrodite natural gas field, which lies between Cyprus and Israel, after the takeover by Chevron of Noble Energy, which discovered the field in 2012.
