Gas exploration in Block 9 expected in September: La Martinière

2^min

Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transport Ali Hamieh held in his office a coordination meeting with a delegation from TotalEnergies headed by General Manager at Total E&P Liban, Romain de La Martinière, who confirmed that the start of drilling work in Block No. 9 is expected to take place at the end of September, provided that the deadline for announcing the results of the drilling operations is at the end of this year.

During the meeting with La Martinière and other figures concerning oil and gas exploration, Minister Hamieh stressed the need for coordination between the concerned departments and take the appropriate facilities within the framework of the law, calling on the departments of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport in the port and airport to take all measures that would complete requirements under the law.

Hamieh stressed in this context that "the ministry's facilities, from the port of Beirut and the airport, are fully prepared to play their role effectively by contributing to bringing the oil and gas exploration file to its conclusions that the Lebanese government and people aspire to."
