According to the order of Presidium of the Russian Academy of sciences № 10105-55 from 30.01.09г. since February, 1, 2009 Sergey  Ya. Sukonkin is appointed the director of EDBOE RAS.

October, 12-19, Greece, area Istmija, Lutraki. Cooperation. Land works.

EDBOE experts within the framework of the contract with company Egelados S.A. (Athenes) by the results of carried out researches determined the place of a break and the place of drilling. The chink has made, depth 220 underground. Results of drilling have confirmed presence water horizons on settlement depths, but the water-saturation of horizon appeared low (owing to small quantity of natural deposits within last 3 years), efficiency of a chink - below expected.

 Also during visit according to the arrangement (visit August 2008) preliminary survey of area Sofiko is carried out. The difficult geomorphological lay of land and the given electro-investigations do not allow to determine precisely a place of drilling of productive chinks (three chinks are dry). EDBOE experts recommended to carry out additional geophysical researches by a method "IGLA". Negotiations proceed.
