Exclusive economic zone of Cyprus

The Exclusive Economic Zone of Cyprus is a claimed area by Cyprus that covers around 30,000 square miles and is divided into 13 exploration squares. The process of creating exclusive economic zones of Cyprus, Israel and Lebanon took place in Nicosia in 2010 with separate meetings between each country.[1] Cyprus and Israel, as part of their broader cooperation, have agreed to start gas exploration with a joint US company, namely Noble Energy. The Cypriot and Israeli governments are discussing exporting their natural gas through the transport of compressed natural gas to Greece and then to the rest of Europe or through submarine pipelines starting from Israel and then leading to Greece via Cyprus.[2][3]
