Tunisia Telegraph: Zarat Field Enigma
The article reviews the history and challenges of the Zarat gas field in the Gulf of Gabes, discovered back in 1992 but yet to begin production. The project faces major obstacles, including the complexity of technology needed to process CO₂-rich gas, a financial crisis that led to the withdrawal of foreign companies—particularly Canadian firms—due to rising costs and falling oil prices, as well as bureaucracy and political instability, which have made investing in the area more difficult. Despite the announcement of new tenders in September 2024 for exploration and development, the question remains whether these rounds will succeed in attracting global oil companies to return and produce gas, or if they will merely be failed attempts to revive hope after more than 30 years of delay and setbacks.
