ExxonMobil says natural gas from two undersea deposits it discovered off Cyprus could begin flowing by 2033, according to comments by the company’s Vice President of Global Exploration, John Ardill. The deposits are part of ExxonMobil’s broader exploration and appraisal work in the eastern Mediterranean. ExxonMobil, together with its consortium partner QatarEnergy, considers developing the gas as the most likely pathway among available options, with the goal of turning Cyprus into a potential new supply source for European energy markets. The statements describe a long development timeline for moving gas from offshore fields to export infrastructure, contingent on decisions and regulatory and commercial steps that are not detailed in the reports. Coverage from multiple outlets attributes the timeline and production outlook to Ardill’s remarks and frames the project in terms of regional energy positioning rather than short-term production. No confirmed start date for production beyond the company’s “could” timeline is reported.
