Cronos Gas Field to Supply Europe with LNG

28 Jul Cronos Gas Field to Supply Europe with LNG

(Oilandgaspress) 28/07/26, – TotalEnergies (50%) and Eni (50%, operator), partners in Cyprus offshore Block 6, have taken the Final Investment Decision (FID) for the development of the Cronos gas field, discovered in 2022 and successfully appraised in 2024.

Located in deep offshore waters approximately 185 kilometers southwest of the coast of Cyprus, Cronos will be developed through four subsea wells. The gas will be transported by subsea pipeline from Cypriot waters to Egypt, where it will be liquefied at the Damietta LNG terminal before being exported to Europe.

The development of Cronos will partly rely on existing facilities in Egypt, generating significant synergies for a fast-track development, which will help accelerate its start-up and reduce the carbon intensity of the field’s production.

Production start-up is expected in 2028, with a plateau of around 500 million cubic feet per day (Mcf/d), equivalent to around 2.8 million tons of LNG per year (Mtpa), 50% of which will be marketed by TotalEnergies.
