Chevron Resumes Gas Production at Tamar Platform Offshore Israel

Restart of Operations Expected to Reach Full Capacity Soon, Easing Energy Concerns in Israel and Egypt

Chevron has resumed production at its Tamar natural gas platform off the coast of Israel, following a halt in operations due to the Hamas attacks on Israel.
The Tamar platform, which went live in 2013, supplies 70% of Israel's energy consumption needs for electricity generation.
Due to the production pause, Israel had to turn to more expensive fuel sources and divert resources from another gas field.
Egypt, which imports natural gas from Israel for its liquefied natural gas exports, has seen a 60% increase in Israeli gas flows this month due to eased safety concerns.
The resumption of production at Tamar is expected to reach full capacity within a few days, according to industry sources.
