Lebanon is hoping to once again import natural gas from Egypt under the terms of a 2009 gas supply contract, Lebanese Energy Minister Cesar Abi Khalil said at a meeting on Thursday with Oil Minister Tarek El Molla, according to a ministry statement.
Khalil did not provide a time frame for the potential move.
France’s Total is due to begin drilling for natural gas in Lebanon’s offshore concessions later this year as part of the Lebanon’s plans to become a natural gas producer itself in the near future.
