Background<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Lebanon relaunched the licensing round for five offshore blocks (1, 4, 8, 9 and 10<\/i><\/b>) in January 2017 after a three-year delay due to political paralysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lebanon sits on the Levant Basin in the eastern Mediterranean along with Cyprus, Egypt, Israel and Syria. A number of gas fields have been discovered there since 2009, such as the Leviathan and Tamar fields.<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of 52 companies qualified earlier in the year to bid in this round.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the process was first launched in 2013, 46 companies qualified to take part in bidding, 12 of them as operators, including Chevron, Total and Exxon Mobil.<\/span><\/p>\n
