道达尔能源（TotalEnergies，持股35%，作业者）及其合作伙伴埃尼集团（Eni，持股35%）和卡塔尔能源公司（QatarEnergy，持股30%）已与黎巴嫩政府签署协议，进入黎巴嫩近海8号区块勘探许可区域。

该财团在8号区块的初步工作计划包括采集1200平方公里的三维地震勘探数据，以进一步评估该区域的勘探潜力。道达尔能源董事长兼首席执行官帕特里克·普亚内（Patrick Pouyanné）表示：

“尽管9号区块的卡纳井钻探并未取得积极成果，但我们仍致力于在黎巴嫩继续开展勘探活动。现在，我们将与合作伙伴埃尼集团和卡塔尔能源公司携手，并与黎巴嫩当局密切合作，集中精力在8号区块开展工作。”

TotalEnergies (35%, operator) and its partners Eni (35%) and QatarEnergy (30%) have signed an agreement with the Lebanese government to enter Block 8 exploration permit offshore Lebanon.

The consortium’s initial work program on Block 8 consists of the acquisition of a 1,200 km² 3D seismic survey, in order to further assess the area’s exploration potential.

“Although the drilling of the Qana well on Block 9 did not give positive results, we remain committed to pursue our exploration activities in Lebanon. We will now focus our efforts on Block 8, together with our partners Eni and QatarEnergy and in close cooperation with Lebanese authorities”, said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
