Overview
Second discovery in the Cyprus EEZ, announced by Eni in February 2018 as an extension of the Zohr carbonate play. Early media estimates of 6–8 tcf were never confirmed; current industry reporting (2025–26) puts the resource at roughly 1 tcf, officially still "under evaluation". A candidate for a second-phase Block 6 development cluster with Zeus, contingent on Cronos being built first.
