Hi,   March 15, 2010 Noble Energy delays Leviathan oil drilling Noble Energy's Mediterranean Offshore Licenses Since its massive natural gas discovery in the Leviathan field offshore of Israel, Noble Energy has suspected that commercial oil reserves may lie beneath the gas find. Plans to begin oil drilling in Leviathan's two lowest strata have been delayed for a month due to technical concerns. In a March 11 interview with Israeli news agency Haaretz, Epsilon Investment House energy analyst Ron Alkon stated,  "A month's postponement of the results isn't, in itself, a sign that there is no oil.

Production development from Israel's Tamar gas fields had been debated because of Israel's gas deals with Egypt. Due to the recent political uprising in Egypt, gas supply to Israel has been cut off (40% of total gas imports) leaving Israel in an energy crisis. Globes News Wire (http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000627225&fid=1725) reported Tshuva's comments to  to the "Calcalist" Energy Conference yesterday March 2. "We are working round the clock. Despite delays and difficulties in financing the project, because of the Sheshinski recommendations, I say and commit that we will beat the original deadline. Gas will reach Israel's shores in 2013." "We will meet all of Israel's needs, and we will do what is required of us. I believe that we'll reach understandings with the Ministry of Finance regarding an agreement with Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) (TASE:ELEC.B22) and financing. We didn't wait for financing to move forward, and as of now we've invested $1.4 billion in the project, and we'll meet all that is required of us. (read more ...)
