HOUSTON, May 16 -- Lebanon's Ministry of Energy and Water let a contract to Petroleum Geo-Services, Oslo, for a multiclient 3D seismic survey in the Mediterranean.
The first phase will involve 1,000 sq km of acquisition in the Levant basin in the fourth quarter of 2006. Water depth is 1,500 m or less.
The data are to support an exploration licensing round late in the first quarter of 2007.
