中国石化新闻网讯 据哈特能源7月14日耶路撒冷报道,利维坦天然气田的天然气平台正从墨西哥湾运往以色列。
运输生产结构装置的四艘驳船中的第一艘已经离开德克萨斯州,其他三艘将在未来几周内起航。今年9月,所有的装置都将安装在距离以色列海岸10公里处的平台外壳上。
在将设备连接到平台后,利维坦的合作伙伴之一诺布尔能源公司(Noble Energy)将在2019年底启动面向国内市场的商业天然气供应之前开始一系列调试测试。
本月早些时候,一条通往埃及的海底天然气管道的测试已经完成,此前双方达成了一项向埃及客户出口价值150亿美元天然气的协议。
利维坦拥有22万亿立方英尺的储量,于2010年被发现,是过去十年世界上最大的天然气发现之一。

Leviathan Natural Gas Platform Starts Voyage To Israel
The gas platform for the Leviathan natural gas field is on its way to Israel from the Gulf of Mexico.
The first of four barges transporting the production structure units has left Texas and the other three will set sail in the coming weeks. In September, all the units will be installed on the jacket of the platform already in place 10 km from Israel's shore.
After connecting the units to the platform, Noble Energy , one of Leviathan's partners, will start a series of commissioning tests before initiating commercial gas flow to the domestic market before the end of 2019.
Earlier this month, testing of a subsea natural gas pipeline to Egypt was completed, in the wake of a deal to export $15 billion in gas to a customer in Egypt.
Leviathan, with 22 Tcf of reserves, was discovered in 2010 and is one of the world’s largest gas discoveries of the past decade.
