Complete the sentence about Aphrodite gas field with the correct year: Noble Energy received the concession to explore block 12 in October ______.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 2008
The Aphrodite gas field lies offshore south of Cyprus at exploration block 12, next to Israel's Yishai field. Noble Energy won the concession to explore that block in October 2008. A production-sharing agreement with the government followed in 2011, so a concession in 2018 or 2023 would come far too late.
