Leviathan Gas Field Exceeds Production Expectations Amid Export Challenges
The Leviathan gas field in Israel has reported a significant increase in production capacity, exceeding initial expectations. The field's production capacity has risen to 15.8 billion cubic meters per year, surpassing the anticipated 14 billion cubic meters. Despite this increase, bottlenecks in gas transmission and export remain, particularly in conveying gas to domestic markets and for export to Egypt and Jordan. Efforts are underway to address these bottlenecks, including the completion of the Ashdod-Ashkelon pipeline and the planned construction of the Nitzana pipeline by 2028.
