中国石化新闻网讯 据欧洲石油1月2日消息，诺布尔能源公司宣布在地中海东部最大的利维坦气田开始生产天然气。

诺布尔能源董事长兼首席执行官David L. Stover表示：“这是诺布尔能源公司历史性的一天。利维坦气田开发的初始阶段安全而成功的执行是世界级的，延续了我们在重大项目交付方面的卓越记录。第一批天然气的生产在项目批准后不到三年就上线了，资本支出低于预算1.5亿美元。与德马尔合并后，我们的以色列资产为诺布尔能源提供了不同的生产模式和现金流前景。”

公司离岸业务高级副总裁J. Keith Elliott表示：“利维坦气田的天然气供应将增强以色列的能源弹性，进一步减少发电用煤，显著改善空气质量，并确保以色列能够长期负担得起能源。利维坦天然气为国内供应提供了冗余，并帮助以色列首次成为区域和全球客户的重要能源出口国。我想祝贺和感谢许多人，他们坚定不移的奉献和承诺是利维坦投入生产的关键。”

利维坦气田于2010年被发现，并于2017年被批准进入初期开发阶段。开发的第一阶段包括四口生产井，通过两个18英寸，73英里的水下回接平台，在以色列北部近海进行生产。该气田位于距海岸约80英里处5500英尺深的水域，预计可开采的天然气资源为22万亿立方英尺(Tcf)，而现有资源为35万亿立方英尺。第一阶段的开发设计产能为每天12亿立方英尺的天然气。

Noble Energy Announces First Gas From the Leviathan Field Offshore Israel

Noble Energy, Inc. announced the commencement of natural gas production from the Leviathan field, the largest natural gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean.

David L. Stover, Noble Energy’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This is a historic day for Noble Energy. The safe and successful execution of the initial phase of Leviathan development has been world-class, continuing our exceptional track record of major project delivery. First gas is online less than three years from project sanction and capital expenditures were $150 million under budget. Combined with Tamar, our Israel assets provide a differential production profile and cash flow outlook for Noble Energy far into the future.”

J. Keith Elliott, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Offshore, commented, “The supply of natural gas from Leviathan will enhance Israel’s energy resilience, enable further reduction of coal usage for electricity generation, significantly improve air quality and ensure long-term affordable energy for Israel. Leviathan natural gas provides redundancy in supply domestically and helps transition Israel to become a significant exporter of energy to regional and global customers for the first time. I would like to congratulate and thank the many individuals whose unwavering dedication and commitment have been key to bringing Leviathan to production.”

The Leviathan field was discovered in 2010, and the initial development phase was sanctioned in 2017. The first phase of development consists of four production wells producing through two 18-inch, 73-mile subsea tiebacks to a processing platform offshore northern Israel. Located approximately 80 miles offshore in 5,500 feet of water, the field is estimated to have recoverable resources of 22 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas from 35 Tcf of in-place resource. The first phase of development has a designed production capacity of 1.2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.
