LNG

Chevron Corp., the US energy major and global LNG producer, has re-started production from the Tamar natural gas field supplying Israel, Jordan and Egypt from East Mediterranean platforms and pipelines following its closure for more than a month by the Israeli government in the wake of attacks against Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists from the Gaza Strip.

The East Mediterranean Gas Forum, grouping Israel, its Arab neighbours as well as the Palestinian Authority, Italy, Greece and Cyprus has been formalized to develop natural gas and economic development in the region.
