石油设备网讯 据每日星报4月3日报道称，黎巴嫩石油管理局一名成员周二表示，黎巴嫩将在今年年底前开始在海上4号区块开采天然气，如果一切按计划进行，黎巴嫩计划于2020年1月启动第二轮开采许可。“石油公司已经对4号和9号区块进行了一些环境调查。他们正在从海上采集油和水的样本。道达尔公司与一家公司签订了一份调查合同，”Wissam Chbat 在希尔顿布鲁特哈卜图大酒店举行的黎巴嫩国际油气峰会期间告诉每日星报。
法国道达尔，意大利埃尼和俄罗斯诺瓦泰克已被授予在黎巴嫩海上边境的4号和9号区块钻探的合同。
Chbat表示，这些公司已决定在4号区块钻探，然后在9号区块开始工作。他说，这些公司将考虑到他们收集的地质数据，选择4号区块的最佳位置以达到最佳效果。
他表示：“这些公司将带来钻探天然气的钻井平台，而这个移动钻井平台将一直探索天然气，直到找到合适的位置。这些钻探船将从一个地方移动到另一个地方，直到它们发现天然气为止。”

Lebanon offshore drilling to start ‘before end of year’
Lebanon will start drilling for gas in maritime Block 4 before the end of the year and intends to launch a second licensing round in January 2020 if everything goes according to plan, a member of the Lebanese Petroleum Administration said Tuesday. “The oil companies have been conducting some environmental surveys on both Block 4 and 9. They are taking samples of oil and water from the sea. Total awarded a contract to a company to conduct this survey,” Wissam Chbat told The Daily Star on the sidelines of the Lebanon International Oil and Gas Summit, held at the Hilton Beirut Habtoor Grand.
France’s Total, Italy’s Eni and Russia’s Novatek have been awarded contracts to drill in blocks 4 and 9 in Lebanon’s maritime borders.
Chbat said the companies had decided to drill in Block 4 and then start work in Block 9. He said the firms would select the best spot in Block 4, taking into consideration the geological data they collected in order to achieve the best result.
“The companies will bring a rig to drill for gas and this mobile rig will explore for gas until they find the right spot. These drill ships will move from one location to another until they strike gas,” he said.
