BEIRUT: Fresh analysis of offshore seismic surveys of Lebanon are showing that tapping into Lebanon’s gas wealth might be easier than first thought, said experts at a major oil conference Tuesday.
“On the old 2-D data, we had initially thought that the main plaque [layer] offshore Lebanon has the same age as in Tamar and Leviathan [gas fields offshore Israel],” said Neil Hodgson, director of geoscience at Spectrum – which has commissioned multiple surveys offshore of Lebanon.
