據(jù)路透社2023年6月22日報道，一份行業(yè)報告稱，盡管天然氣產(chǎn)量飆升，但由于鉆井和勘探活動的增加，以色列的天然氣儲量在過去十年中增加了40%。

咨詢公司德豪會計師事務(wù)所（BDO）為以色列天然氣貿(mào)易協(xié)會編寫的報告稱，自2013年以色列首個重要生產(chǎn)氣田塔馬爾大氣田啟動以來，以色列海上天然氣產(chǎn)量增加了5倍。

報告稱，以色列的天然氣儲量從2012年的7800億立方米增加到2022年底的10870億立方米，而同期的天然氣開采量為1190億立方米。

以色列天然氣儲量的大幅增加是由于幾個新油氣發(fā)現(xiàn)，包括希臘油氣勘探和生產(chǎn)公司Energean的奧林巴斯氣田(已更名為Katlan)，以及在雪佛龍公司運(yùn)營的利維坦大氣田中心附近的進(jìn)一步勘探活動。

在過去十年中，東地中海地區(qū)的天然氣產(chǎn)量迅速增長，原因是在以色列和埃及海域先后獲得了重要的天然氣資源發(fā)現(xiàn)。

以色列的天然氣通過管道供應(yīng)到本地區(qū)，而埃及天然氣也通過天然氣液化終端出口到國際市場。

Israel's gas reserves grew by 40% over past decade

Israel's natural gas reserves have grown by 40% over the past decade due to increased drilling and exploration activities, an industry report said, even as production soared.

The growth came amid five-fold growth in offshore gas production since the start-up of Israel's first major producing Tamar field in 2013, the report prepared by consultancy BDO for the Israeli Natural Gas Trade Association said.

Israel's gas reserves grew from 780 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2012 to 1,087 bcm at the end of 2022, while 119 bcm was extracted over the same period, the report said.

The growth in reserves was due to several new discoveries, including Energean's Olympus field, which has been renamed Katlan, as well as further exploration activity around hubs including the Chevron operated Leviathan field.

The eastern Mediterranean region has seen rapid expansion of natural gas production over the past decade, following the discovery of major resources in waters off Israel and Egypt.

The gas is supplied to the region via pipelines and in Egypt is also exported to international markets through gas liquefaction terminals.
