据1月20日offshore energy消息：以色列最大天然气田Leviathan和Tamar的合作伙伴将投资新管道系统，以将燃料出口到埃及。

雪佛龙作为这两个气田的运营商，已与以色列天然气管道公司(INGL)达成协议，为Tamar和Leviathan气藏提供天然气输送服务。

以色列Delek Drilling表示，INGL将在以色列Ashdod和Ashkelon之间建造一个传输系统。

Leviathan和Tamar partners将支付Ashdod-Ashkelon管道建设总成本的56.5%，估计为7.38亿以色列谢克尔(2.28亿美元)。

此外，他们将为Dor-Hagit和Sorek-Nesher管道部分的扩建支付2700万谢克尔(约800万美元)。

Delek指出，除了扩大其他管道外，这将使合作伙伴每年向埃及输送多达70亿立方米的天然气。

双方先前同意在8年内向埃及出口440亿立方米的天然气。

Delek表示，第一批天然气将在2022年7月至2023年4月之间开始流动。

New pipeline to boost Israel’s gas export to Egypt

Partners in Israel’s largest natural gas fields Leviathan and Tamar will invest in new pipeline system to export the fuel to Egypt.

Chevron, as the operator of both gas fields, has entered into an agreement with Israel Natural Gas Lines (INGL) for the provision of transmission services of natural gas from the Tamar reservoir and Leviathan reservoir.

According to the stakeholder Delek Drilling, INGL will construct a transmission system between the Israeli cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon.

The Leviathan and Tamar partners will pay 56.5 per cent of the overall cost of construction of the Ashdod-Ashkelon pipeline, which is estimated at 738 million Israeli shekels ($228 million).

Furthermore, they will pay 27 million shekels, or some $8 million, for the expansion of the Dor-Hagit and Sorek-Nesher pipeline sections.

In addition to the expansion of other lines, it will enable the partners to send as much as 7 billion cubic meters of gas annually to Egypt, Delek noted.

The partners previously agreed to export 44 billion cubic meters of gas to Egypt over a period of eight years.

Delek said that the first gas flows should begin between July 2022 and April 2023.

Chevron is the operator of both fields, and holds a 39.7% stake in Leviathan and 32.5% of Tamar. Delek owns 45.3% of Leviathan and 22% in Tamar.

Chevron acquired Noble Energy in a $5-billion deal last year. As a result it took over its interests in Leviathan and Tamar.
