U.S. geologists find big untapped gas resources in the Levant Basin
Scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey said on Monday that the Levant Basin province in the Eastern Mediterranean region hosts about 3.5 trillion cubic meters of untapped natural gas which might be “technically recoverable”, and will conduce further surveys to identify potentially extractable fields.
”The Levant Basin province is comparable to some of the other large provinces around the world and its gas resources are bigger than anything we have assessed in the United States”, said USGS Energy Resources Program Coordinator Brenda Pierce. “This assessment furthers our understanding of the world's energy potential, helping inform policy- and decision-makers in making decisions about future energy supplies”.
