The Lebanese Petroleum Administration (LPA) recently published a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) related to potential offshore oil and gas activities. RPS Energy Ltd., a multinational energy resources and environmental consultancy company, initiated the study in October 2011 and completed it five months later. RPS will continue to provide consultation to the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW) and the LPA as the sector moves forward, with the recommendation to further assess the environmental impact of drilling for potential reservoirs, processing reserves and transporting oil or gas.
