Israel's Tamar gas field faces new cost hike

摘要

Jerusalem-The total development cost of the Tamar natural gas field offshore Israel is expected to rise to at least $3.5 billion due to the need for additional infrastructure for the project, industry sources said November 2. A second gas pipeline and a second gas receiving terminal are needed based on esti- mates that the Tamar field will produce too much gas for one pipeline, which is planned to carry gas from Tamar to the existing Yam Thetis field and from there to the existing ter- minal at Ashdod, the sources said.
