TotalEnergies, QatarEnergy and ConocoPhillips have signed a deal to review an offshore block in Syria. The agreement allows the companies to evaluate the block's potential for oil and gas resources. The review will include technical and commercial assessments to determine whether further exploration or development is viable.
The companies stated that the deal represents an initial step toward possible future operations in Syrian waters. No timeline for the completion of the review was provided in the announcement.
Background on the Block The offshore block is located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Syria. The area has drawn interest from international energy firms due to nearby discoveries in adjacent waters. Previous exploration activity in Syrian waters has been limited in recent years because of political and economic conditions in the country.
The new agreement marks renewed commercial interest in the block. The companies will now begin data analysis and planning for the review process. Results from the assessment could lead to additional steps if the findings support proceeding.
