LNG

Italian energy company Eni and US major Chevron Corp. have made a “significant” gas discovery in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea offshore Egypt in a follow up for Eni on its huge Zohr gas field that enabled the Egyptians again to become LNG exporters.

TotalEnergies Chairman and Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanné has met Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water Walid Fayad at the French major’s Paris headquarters to mobilize drilling teams for the Block 9 offshore resource that will make Lebanon an energy producer in what is becoming the Eastern Mediterranean LNG and pipeline gas hub.
