Noble Energy reported that it has made a significant natural gas discovery at the Leviathan prospect Offshore Israel. At 16 TCF in estimated resource potential, the find is the company’s third major natural gas discovery in the Offshore Levantine Basin in two years, and offers the potential for Israel to become a net exporter of natural gas. Altogether the three discoveries, including the Tamar and Dalit discoveries, hold an estimated 25 Tcf of gas. “Israel is now positioned to become an exporter of natural gas,” said David Wurmser, executive member of the Delphi Global Analysis Group. The Leviathan-1 discovery well encountered at least 220 net ft of natural gas pay in several Subsalt Miocene intervals, similar to those found at Tamar. The well is at a current depth of 16,960 ft, and drilling will continue to a planned TD of 23,600 ft to evaluate other intervals. The Leviathan field covers about 125 sq mi and is located in 5,400 ft of water 80 miles Offshore Haifa. Two appraisal wells are planned to evaluate the field’s potential.
