据原油新闻2月22日消息称，以色列官员说，一位以色列官员说，以色列和埃及能源部长周日同意修建一条从以色列东地中海近海利维坦气田到埃及的天然气管道，以促进对欧洲的出口。
这位不愿透露姓名的官员说，Yuval Steinitz和埃及部长Tarek el-Molla“同意修建一条从利维坦气田到埃及液化设施的海上天然气管道”。
他补充说，目标是“鉴于欧洲对天然气的需求不断增长，通过埃及的液化设施增加对欧洲的天然气出口”。
这项协议是在Molla访问以色列时宣布的，他在以色列还会晤了以色列总理Benjamin Netanyah、外长Gabi Ashkenazi和Steinitz。
Molla在Steinitz办公室发布的视频中说，能源部长及其团队举行会议是“为了扩大和加强能源合作”。
利维坦气田于2010年在地中海港口城市海法以西130公里（81英里）处被发现，估计蕴藏5350亿立方米(18.9万亿立方英尺)天然气和3410万桶凝析油。
总部位于美国的诺布尔和以色列的德勒克是利维坦和较小的塔玛气田开发的牵头财团，去年他们与埃及的Dolphinus达成了一项价值150亿美元的10年协议，供应640亿立方米天然气（2.26万亿立方英尺）。
以色列于2019年12月开始从利维坦开采天然气，并于次月向埃及出口。

Israel to Build New Natural Gas Pipeline from its Offshore Rig Direct to Egypt
Israel and Egypt’s energy ministers agreed Sunday to build a gas pipeline from Israel’s offshore eastern Mediterranean Leviathan field to Egypt, aimed at boosting exports to Europe, an Israeli official said.
Yuval Steinitz and his Egyptian counterpart Tarek el-Molla “agreed on the construction of an offshore gas pipeline from the Leviathan gas field to the liquefaction facilities in Egypt,” the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The goal was “to increase the gas exports to Europe through the liquefaction facilities in Egypt, in light of the growing demand in Europe for natural gas,” he added.
The deal was announced as Molla visited Israel, where he also met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi as well as Steinitz.
The energy ministers and their teams met “in order to enlarge and to increase the cooperation in energy,” Molla said in a video released by Steinitz’s office.
Leviathan, discovered 130 kilometers (81 miles) west of the Mediterranean port city Haifa in 2010, is estimated to hold 535 billion cubic meters (18.9 trillion cubic feet) of natural gas, along with 34.1 million barrels of condensate.
US-based Noble and Israel’s Delek, the consortium leading the development of the Leviathan and the smaller Tamar field, struck a $15 billion 10-year deal last year with Egypt’s Dolphinus to supply 64 billion cubic meters (2.26 trillion cubic feet).
Israel began pumping gas from Leviathan in December 2019 and exporting to Egypt the following month.
