Fayyad says Qatar interested in gas exploration in blocks 4, 9
Qatar is interested in gas exploration in Lebanon, caretaker Energy Minister Walid Fayyad said Friday, a day after President Michel Aoun announced Lebanon's official approval of a U.S.-brokered border demarcation deal with Israel, unlocking significant offshore gas production.
Fayyad said that Qatari Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi has expressed Qatar's interest in joining the companies that will explore the block 4 and the block 9, where the Qana field is located.
The caretaker minister met with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and discussed with him the need to support the Lebanese Petroleum Administration with manpower and with the necessary resources.
