Chevron has submitted a non-binding expression of interest for one open block to Greece's Hellenic Hydrocarbons and Energy Resources Management Co. (HEREMA).
 
The government welcomed Chevron's expression of interest. A decision will be issued this week on the exact area of exploration and an international tender will be launched soon, the country's energy ministry said in a statement.
 
Chevron operates gas fields in Israel and has interests in Egypt and Cyprus.
 
"Chevron has a large and important position in the Eastern Mediterranean, a region which is very much a part of our future and a priority for us," a company spokesperson said. 
 
With the new tender, the research area for exploration will eventually be increased by 25%, or by 11,000 sq km (4,250 sq miles), government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis said, according to other news sources.
