By decree of 7 December 2018 Global MED was awarded the F.R 43.GM offshore exploration permit for six years. The block, formerly known as the d87F.R-.GM application, is covering 729.5 sq km in the Ionian sea and is adjoining the F.R 41.GM and F.R 42.GM permits awarded to Global MED in December 2016. The first phase of the work program, which involves the three permits, consists in the acquisition of 676 km of 2D seismic. The company is committed to start the survey within 12 months from the award. The second and third phases, subject to individual environmental impact assessments, will include a 3D seismic survey and an exploratory well.  Global MED applied for the d85F.R-.GM, d86F.R-.GM and d87F.R-.GM adjoining exploration permits on 17 December 2013. The as yet undrilled blocks cover 748 sq km, 749 sq km and 729 sq km respectively in water depths ranging from 1,000 m to 2,000 m off Crotone and the coast of Calabria.  Global MED LLC holds a 100% operating interest in the F.R 41.GM, F.R 42.GM and F.R 43.GM exploration permits.
