Report: TotalEnergies finds no gas in Block 9's drilling site
French oil giant TotalEnergies has informed Lebanon’s Energy Ministry and the Lebanese Petroleum Administration that no gas was found in the first well that was drilled in Lebanon’s offshore Block 9, a media report said.
“Drilling in the well in Block 9 ended after only water was found at a depth of 3,900 meters, and accordingly there is no use from continuing the drilling to a depth of 4,200 meters,” LBCI television reported.
“The Energy Minister and representatives of TotalEnergies are preparing to head to the drilling platform and TotalEnergies is expected to issue a statement about the preliminary results,” LBCI added.
According to experts, other wells can be drilled in the same block to explore the presence of gas in it.
It appears we got fooled into negotiating the maritime borders with the Zionists occupiers of Palestine in return of nothing. Que ça nous serve de leçon!
No problem, we have a great bunch of politicians and every time they speak they generate for us our own gas thank you very much, and with no drilling whatsoever!
