Development of Israel's Leviathan Gas Field is 30 Percent Complete
(Jerusalem Post) Maayan Hoffman - Currently, the offshore Tamar gas field supplies Israel with 65% of its power needs. Opening the larger Leviathan field will put Israel in a position as an energy exporter, said Binyamin A. Zomer, Noble Energy's vice president for regional affairs, which operates the two fields. Noble Energy and its Israeli partners are investing $3.75 billion in developing Leviathan off the Haifa coast, which is almost 30% complete. The Leviathan production platform is being constructed at a shipyard in Corpus Christi, Texas.
