Turbulent times raise shutdown risk for Greece's only oil field
Greece's Prinos, the country's only operating oil field, is facing the risk of shutting down hit by record low prices brought on by the Russia-Saudi Arabia price war and plunging demand in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. Operating since 1981, the offshore oil field is located 18 kilometers off the northern town of Kavala. Company officials say that it is an old oil field that needs lots of new capital amidst falling production levels.
