Historical Review

Founded in 1975, the Public Petroleum Corporation (DEP S.A.) held the rights for Exploration & Production (R&P) of hydrocarbons granted by the Greek State. For the next two decades, the company systematically explored 26 hydrocarbon potential areas across the country.
In 1986, DEP S.A. established its subsidiary, the Public Enterprise for Petroleum Exploration and Production of Hydrocarbons (DEP-EKY S.A.). A decade later, in 1996, DEP-EKY S.A. released an international tender, resulting in the signing of Lease Agreements for hydrocarbon exploration in four areas of Western Greece: Ioannina, N.W. Peloponnese, Patraikos, and Aitoloakarnania.
In 1998, DEP S.A. was merged with other state-owned companies in oil sector, founding HELLENIC PETROLEUM S.A. which was listed in the Athens Stock Exchange.
In 2007, the Greek State, by a unilateral legislative act, revoked HELLENIC PETROLEUM's E&P rights in the 26 lease areas.
Since 2009, HELLENIC PETROLEUM S.A. has been actively participated in international tenders released by the Ministry of Energy & Environment, in joint ventures with international oil & gas companies, granting exploration rights in several areas, including Patraikos Gulf (West), Arta-Preveza, N.W. Peloponnese, Block 2, in West Corfu island, Block 10, in Kyparissiakos Gulf, Ionian Block, as well as West Crete and Southwest Crete.
