The retrieval date matters here: this is a living dataset, and both APA and Chicago ask for it when a source
            changes over time. It is filled with the day you open this page.

 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
What we are a source for
 

Four things on this site exist nowhere else in one place. If your story needs one of them, this is the
                page to link.

 
 
 
 Licence acreage Status, area and operator for all 13 EEZ blocks, with real geometry as GeoJSON. /blocks 
 The milestone tracker Every dated decision on the road to first gas, with what each one turns on and when it was last reviewed. /tracker 
 The drilling record All 15 wells drilled since 2011 — operator, result and water depth, with appraisals separated from discoveries. /wells 
 Benchmarks nobody else computes Time from discovery to FID, exploration strike rate by era, drilling cadence — derived from our records, each with its method attached. /benchmarks 
 Resource figures, by category Each field’s number labelled 2C, gas-in-place or combined-hub, so it does not get quoted as something it is not. /statistics 
 
 
 
 We compile, we do not originate. The underlying figures come from
                the Ministry of Energy, the Cyprus Hydrocarbons Company and operator disclosures; every page names its
                sources and the date it was last verified. Cite us for the compilation and the framing — and where your
                desk needs the primary source for a number, each page tells you whose number it is.

 
 
 
 
 
The licence, in plain words
 

Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. The

                this is what it means in practice.

 
 
 
 You may Republish the figures and the text, redraw our charts, embed the widgets, train on it, and do all of that commercially. 
 
 You must Credit “OilCyprus (oilcyprus.com)”, link back where the medium allows it, and say so if you changed anything. 
 
 You need not Ask permission, pay anything, or tell us in advance — though we always like to see the piece. 
 

One exclusion: the interactive map's base tiles are Mapbox's and stay under Mapbox's own terms. Our data
                layers on top of them are not affected.

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
Put the tracker on your page
 

A live widget, not a screenshot: when a milestone lands here, it changes on your page too. Free on any
              site, commercial ones included — the attribution badge just has to stay visible.

                contested or when we do not know.
