Walid Fayad, Minister of Energy and Water of Lebanon, and Patrick Pouyanné, President and CEO of TotalEnergies, met at the company’s headquarters and discussed the development of TotalEnergies’ activities in Lebanon, confirming that the teams in charge of Drilling operations on Block 9 are already mobilized.
To date, in addition to the Operations Manager, more than 10 people are involved in preparing the well. By the end of March 2023, the team mobilized in Beirut will reach more than 20 employees.
The tender to secure the drilling rig has been launched and should lead to a rig selection in the first quarter of 2023. Pre-orders have also been placed with suppliers for the equipment required for the well.
In parallel, offshore resources are being mobilized to contribute to environmental studies that will be completed by the end of June 2023.
All of those TotalEnergies teams are working in collaboration with LPA to prepare the well in order to achieve the goal of TotalEnergies and its partner ENI to complete drilling as soon as possible in 2023.
