Saddled with debt greater than 140% of GDP, Lebanon could do with the revenue it would receive from exploiting its offshore hydrocarbon reserves, estimated at 850m barrels of oil and 96trn cubic feet of gas. While the existence of large fields in the eastern Mediterranean has been known since 2009, Beirut has yet to start drilling for the black stuff. Why is Lebanon taking so long to join the ranks of oil-producing nations?. In order to get the licensing process started, the government needed to approve two decrees: the first dividing Lebanon’s exclusive economic zone into ten blocs and setting their co-ordinates; the second specifying tender protocols and establishing how the oil produced would be shared between companies and the government. No oil-and-gas auction happened after Lebanon first pre-qualified 46 companies in 2013. But the process has not been helped by uncertainty surrounding the viability of the licences Lebanon is putting up for sale. Lebanon’s inclusion of a contested 860-sq-km zone in its tender disrupted what Israel says was a status quo in which neither side does anything with the disputed area. Israel responded by proposing a maritime law formalising its rights on the stretch of seabed, which Nabih Berri, the Speaker of Lebanon's parliament, described as “a declaration of war on Lebanon”. Calls by Lebanese authorities for the matter to be settled by the UN’s mission in southern Lebanon have so far gone unheeded. Should Lebanon’s reserves prove as substantial as predicted, it may have difficulties finding regional customers: the Egyptian, Israeli and Turkish governments are close to signing supply deals with each other.
