The Hellenic Petroleum West Patraikos Exploration and Production of Hydrocarbons S.A. has assigned IO/HCMR the implementation of the Site Survey and Environmental Sampling Habitat Assessment Baseline Survey in the West Patraikos License Area. This survey is aimed to be an integral part of the Environmental Baseline Report (Stage 2), the Environmental Impact Assessment and the Shallow Hazard Assessment ahead of drilling operations in the West Patraikos Lease Area.

The survey foresees the use of R/V AEGAEO supported by the assistant vessel ALKYON and the main objectives are (i) to assist in the identification of all geo-hazards, shallow drilling hazards and geological conditions relating to drilling operations; (ii) to identify any seabed obstructions; (iii) to Identify and map any protected or sensitive habitats at the well site and across the coastal areas and identify any areas of environmental interest, which could be impacted by anchoring or drilling; (iv) to Establish Environmental Baseline conditions.
