The Eastern Mediterranean Basin has become popular since the beginning of the 2000s, especially in the context of the potential energy resources in the region. Along with this potential, debates on discoveries, production processes, and transfer options of the resources have continued. Although the current situation in the region started 20 years ago, the historical process of offshore drilling in the Eastern Mediterranean goes back to the 1960s. During this period, Egypt and Israel carried out various drilling operations.1 However, success could not be achieved due to the technical deficiencies and conditions of that period. In the early 2000s, exploration activities in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin began again with the small-scale discoveries of Israel. The discoveries of Tamar and Leviathan fields located in Israeli territorial waters in 2009 and 2010 caused international attention to turn to this region.
