Tamar Partners Sign Gas Export Deal

摘要

The partners in Israel's Tamar gas field have signed an export agreement with two Jordanian firms. A similar regional gas deal was recently signed with the Palestinians (IOD Jan.7'14). Arab Potash Co. and Jordan Bromine Co. inked a gas sales accord with US-based Noble Energy, operator of the 10 Tcf Tamar offshore field, and Israeli firms Delek Energy, Isramco Negev 2 and Dor Gas Exploration. Sales will start in 2016 once pipeline infrastructure has been completed and will provide feedstock for both firms' facilities on the Dead Sea, just over the border between Israel and Jordan. Israel will oversee the pipe's construction, a Jordanian energy ministry official tells International Oil Daily (IOD Jan.9'14).
