Calypso	Block 6	Eni	Discovered	2018	—	Under evaluation. Eight years after the discovery the ministry still states "Calypso discovery is under evaluation", and no appraisal well has been drilled on Calypso. Eni’s discovery release announced "a lean gas discovery" and said "Additional studies will be carried out to assess the range of the gas volumes in place" — it gave no figure. The two figures on record are the only ones ever put on this field, and neither is a document.
Pegasus	Block 10	ExxonMobil	Development	2025	—	No document states a figure for Pegasus. The ministry’s Block 10 entry lists only Delphyne-1, Glaucus-1 and Glaucus-2 and gives one gas-in-place figure, for Glaucus; ExxonMobil’s own Block 10 release predates the discovery by six years. The two combined figures on record are spoken remarks relayed by the press, and the Pegasus appraisal well has not been drilled.
