“…The results of recent studies indicating that the sedimentary succession offshore Lebanon may include source and reservoirs rocks similar to those in neighbouring countries have been discussed at recent international conferences and in professional publications (e.g. Breman, 2006;Roberts and Peace, 2007;Gardosh et al, 2009;Lie and Trayfoot, 2009;Montadert et al, 2010). Discoveries offshore Israel (e.g.…”

This paper presents an updated review of the petroleum prospectivity of Lebanon. It is based on a re‐assessment of the tectono‐stratigraphic succession in Lebanon, correlation with nearby countries and the results of a recent offshore seismic survey. A generalized model illustrating potential petroleum system(s) in Lebanon is presented with data on Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic plays. Major lithological units are described with respect to their source, reservoir and cap‐rock potential. Based on a general review of previous studies and existing data, Lebanese exploration prospects may comprise on‐ and offshore as well as coastal (margin) targets. They include potential Triassic reservoirs in onshore central‐northern Lebanon including those at the Qartaba structure. Offshore plays are discussed with reference to recent seismic profiles; potential offshore targets comprise Oligo‐Miocene reservoirs sealed by Messinian evaporites as well as deeper Mesozoic reservoirs.

“…In all hydrocarbon plays the gas origin is inferred from type of source sediments revealed by seismic interpretations in the Eastern Mediterranean (see for example [Peck, Horscroft, 2005;Lie, Trayfoot, 2009;Di Cuia, 2017]). Such an approach defines, a priori, the gas origin as biogenic.…”
