Chevron took over the Tamar and Leviathan gas fields following the acquisition of Noble Energy in October 2020.
The Leviathan field, Israel’s largest, began production in 2019. The gas is exported to Jordan and Egypt, as well as supplied to the local market.
The spokesperson added: “We continue to supply customers from the Leviathan Production Platform and work with customers and relevant regulatory bodies to ensure that natural gas supplies continue safely and reliably.”
Recently, there have been reports that one of the partners in the Tamar field, Delek Drilling, is in negotiations to sell its stake in the field for up to US$ 1.1 billion.
It is worth noting that Delek Drilling signed a natural gas sector agreement with the Israeli government several years ago, which obligates it to sell all its stakes in the Tamar gas field by December 2021 because it also holds a 45.34 percent stake in the Leviathan gas field.
This agreement allows for competitive opening in the sector. The company has already sold part of its stakes to Tamar Petroleum and Everest.
