Supplies of Egyptian Gas Expected in Lebanon by Early 2022

Egypt is expecting to begin exporting 60-65 million cubic feet of gas per day to Lebanon by early next year, Egyptian Petroleum Minister Tarek El Molla said on the 16^th November.

Egypt will supply the gas, in line with the quantity that Lebanon had requested, “as soon as we can … we might expect it end of the year, early next year”, Mr Molla said on the side-lines of an oil and gas conference in Abu Dhabi.

“We are just doing due diligence, checking the pipelines,” he said.

Under a US-backed plan to help ease Lebanon’s power crisis, Egypt will supply natural gas to Lebanon via a pipeline passing through Jordan and Syria.
