Lebanon eyes expansion of disputed maritime area with Israel

[Disir]

Move could hit Energean's Karish gas development
Lebanon's maritime claim now covers 2,290 sq km
Dispute arises from use of offshore outcrop
Nicosia — Negotiations led by the US and the UN regarding a common maritime border between Lebanon and Israel could be postponed indefinitely if Beirut proceeds to register new offshore coordinates with the UN for its exclusive economic zone (EEZ).

That step would boost Lebanon's claim by 1,430 sq km and increase the size of the area disputed by the two states from 860 sq km to 2,290 sq km, including part of the Karish gas field license area offshore Israel.


Lebanon has to date made no commercial gas finds in its offshore in stark contrast to Israel, which has developed a number of major fields, including the giant Leviathan and Tamar fields.

The way I read it is that Lebanon hasn't had any commercial finds so nothing to develop? I think this must be part of the deal that's of undisputed value found in the OP's article: "That step would boost Lebanon's claim by 1,430 sq km and increase the size of the area disputed by the two states from 860 sq km to 2,290 sq km, including part of the Karish gas field license area offshore Israel."
