Chevron, Israel Natural Gas Lines sign deal to build Nitzana pipeline to Egypt

Chevron announced today that it has reached an agreement with Israel Natural Gas Lines, the state-owned pipeline operator, to begin building the Nitzana pipeline, which will transport gas from the Leviathan field to Egypt.

Just last month, Leviathan’s owners, NewMed, Chevron, and Ratio Energies, signed a $35 billion deal to export gas to Egypt. The field holds an estimated 600 billion cubic meters of reserves.

According to Chevron, the Nitzana pipeline will deliver around 600 million cubic feet of gas per day once completed in about three years, raising Israel’s export capacity to Egypt above 2.2 billion cubic feet per day.

BP: dirty deals with Israel for Gaza’s gas

Dozens of activists from Fossil Free London assembled outside BP’s London headquarters to protest Israel’s approval of 12 new licences for natural gas exploration off the west coast of Gaza to six companies, including BP.

BP not only received this licence but is also set to acquire 50% of the Israeli Delek Group-owned NewMed, who have also been granted a licence. NewMed owns 45% of Leviathan, the largest gas field in the Mediterranean, situated off the coast of Israel. Israel’s occupation of the Gaza Strip denies the besieged population access to natural resources within its waters, in violation of international law.
