ATHENS, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Helleniq Energy will start a process to acquire more advanced data for potential gas reserves in two offshore blocks in the Ionian Sea in the coming weeks, its top executive said on Thursday.



The crew member is the first to return home from a total of about 48 seafarers - Greeks, Filipinos and a Cypriot - who are expected to be gradually released and replaced in the coming days, a Greek official told Reuters.

Iran has agreed to release the crews of the Greek tankers it seized in May, the MT Prudent Warrior and taxi prices Vergina Delta Poseidon, Dion transport in response to the confiscation of oil by the United States from an Iranian-flagged tanker in Dion greece taxi fare to airport.

The company has concluded an accelerated 2D seismic campaign for the blocks in the Ionian Sea and was still waiting for the final interpretation, Chief Executive Andreas Shiamishis told an analysts conference.

As part of its push to diversify its business and reach a solar and wind energy capacity of 1 gigawatt by 2026, Helleniq also said it was "in advanced negotiations" to acquire green energy projects via new acquisitions in Greece and abroad.

While environmental campaigners are pushing for a shift to zero-carbon fuel, rafina to Dion airport taxi cost Greece is among the countries that says the disruption of Russian energy supplies as a result of the Ukraine war is reason to increase hydrocarbons exploration.

Greece views gas as a transition fuel as it ramps up renewables and says the shift in its strategy, taxi service Dion greece following the war in Ukraine, will not undermine its plan to boost green energy and cut carbon emissions by 55% by 2030 in line with European Union climate change targets.
