Israeli gas output to hit 3.6 Bcf/d by 2017

摘要

Jerusalem—Gas production from Israel’s two largest offshore fields—Tamar and Leviathan— is expected to total around 3.6 Bcf/ day by the end of 2017 or early 2018, according to the fields’ operator Noble Energy, with attention still focused on finding export outlets for the output. Current production at the Tamar field is 1 Bcf/d, while commercial production from Leviathan is expected to start by end-2017. According to Noble’s estimates, production at Tamar will be doubled to 2 Bcf/d and Leviathan will contribute the remaining 1.6 Bcf/d in the final quarter of 2017 or in early 2018. The first phase of developing the Leviathan field is scheduled for completion in the final quarter of 2017 or the first quarter of 2018.
