Description
- The Leviathan Field is located in the Israeli EEZ, approximately 130 km off the shores of Haifa. Production is facilitated by 4 subsea wells that are connected, via a subsea manifold and two 120 km long pipelines, to an offshore platform, where all processing of gas takes place. From the platform the gas is piped to shore into the Israeli national grid.
- Gas is supplied to Jordan and Egypt as well as Israel
- An expansion project is under way that includes drilling three additional offshore wells, adding additional subsea infrastructure, and enhancing the treatment facilities on the Leviathan production platform. This will increase capacity to deliver approximately 21 billion cubic meters (BCM) annually
