China Gas Information
For over 60 years, the people of Israel, depend on the energy imports, but the situation is changing. The newly discovered huge natural gas reserves let Israel's energy high up, even started planning the export. At present, the people of Israel, still need the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to meet domestic demand.
Oil and gas exploration company in the Mediterranean region found great natural gas reserves, according to the current consumption, the natural gas reserves in 150 Israel enough consumption. The Nobel energy company, Delek group and other several energy companies hope points soup Israel future gas drilling.
Relative to the energy company's positive attitude, the Israeli government is very cautious. Officials say, in the department of energy's energy development blueprint, export natural gas is to consider items, but to meet domestic demand is always first, exports will be strictly limited.
Of course, in the initial stage, Israel's natural gas export is still faced with many challenges. First of all, the people of Israel, land area is small, the lack of construction of natural gas liquefaction export terminal good location. Secondly, environmentalists and the offshore oil and gas development concerned. Choose to build sea natural gas facilities or build cross-border gas pipeline in maintaining the difficult question. Although faced with many challenges, but if not export, the people of Israel, natural gas mining economy is very poor, I'm afraid I will be the loss outweights the gain.
Currently there are two kinds of export plans are under discussion, a scheme is to build a pipeline to Greece, another scheme is in Jordan domestic construction a export terminal, and then through the red sea the liquefied natural gas exports to Asia.
The Israeli government promised to make the necessary reform to promote natural gas export. The government has set up a committee to study natural gas development guidelines, according to the plan, the committee will be released this month in the final version of the guidelines.
In April this year released a mid-term report, the committee said, as long as can realize initial exploration targets, Israel's natural gas can ensure that the domestic use in 2040, and allow some of the export. The oil and gas industry representatives think, the interim report to Israel's natural gas prospects left a great uncertainty, the realization of the export to a large extent depends on the government's attitude. But the government policy uncertainty will let foreign flinch.
