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.

Noble Energy, the US-based company with interests in key North American basins and in the East Mediterranean, has closed its deal to sell a 7.5 percent working interest in the Tamar field, offshore Israel, to Israeli-listed Tamar Petroleum.
