Fossil Energy – Lebanon
TotalEnergies and its partners Eni (35%) and QatarEnergy (30%) have signed an agreement with the Lebanese government to acquire the exploration permit for Block 8 offshore Lebanon.
The consortium’s initial work program on Block 8 includes acquiring a 1,200 km² 3D seismic survey to evaluate the area’s exploration potential better.
“Although the drilling of the Qana well on Block 9 did not give positive results, we remain committed to pursue our exploration activities in Lebanon. We will now focus our efforts on Block 8, together with our partners Eni and QatarEnergy and in close cooperation with Lebanese authorities,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
