State-possessed QatarEnergy is in converses with the Lebanese government to take a 30 percent stake in a seaward investigation block and is likewise haggling with TotalEnergies and Eni on this, President Saad al-Kaabi affirmed on Sunday.
Two sources said last week that TotalEnergies and the Lebanese government arrived at an arrangement giving the French oil significant impermanent greater part control of the block and preparing for talks with Qatar over a stake in the gas project.
“We are currently examining that with the public authority of Lebanon and the accomplices, All out and Eni for a cooperation of around 30% responsibility for investigation block,” al-Kaabi said.
“At the appointed time when we get that fundamentally finished as an understanding and we consent to that arrangement, we will report it.”
The underlying investigation permit was held by a three-section consortium of TotalEnergies, Italy’s Eni, and Russia’s Novatek. Beirut declared in September that Novatek, which held a 20 percent stake, would exit.
