Lebanon lags behind regional countries in gas sector
Important planned developments in Lebanon’s oil and gas sector were postponed this month, adding to delays in the industry.
BEIRUT, Lebanon — January 2020 was to be a major month for Lebanon’s budding oil and gas sector, with the first ever offshore exploratory drilling expected to have started and the second round of licensing to close at the end of the month. However, both have been postponed.
The exploratory drilling by a consortium of companies headed by Total SA Ricardo Darré, general manager of Total E&P Liban told LOGI earlier this month that the ship, the Tungsten Explorer, would arrive in January, after a delay.
