NEOS announced the promising findings from a regional oil & gas prospectivity study that it completed in Lebanon. NEOS believes a frontier oil & gas province is now emerging in the country.

Jim Hollis, NEOS President and CEO, commented, 'After completing an extensive interpretation of the geoscience datasets we acquired, we identified many indicators of a hydrocarbon system.
