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.
