Global Upstream Scouting | Middle East North Africa | Syria Back in Favor, Egypt Improving, Israel Bid Round and Unconventional Play, TPAO into the Strait, Shell Returns to Libya

Host Patrick Rutty, Senior Regional Manager Tom Richards, and Senior Analyst Sheik-Imran Azim Rahman discuss Syria’s rise from the ashes as an area for renewed E&P focus and Egypt’s remarkable progress in erasing its arrears to oil and gas companies. They then turn their attention to Israel’s just-announced offshore bid round and briefly cover Zion Oil & Gas’s exploration of what seems an unconventional play onshore, before wrapping up with TPAO and Shell new country entries.
