据路透社11月24日耶路撒冷报道,根据一项以色列列维坦大气田开发商24日在耶路撒冷宣布的初步协议,来自以色列巨型海上气田列维坦大气田的天然气在今后长达15年的时间里将通过一条现有的海底管道被泵送到埃及。
列维坦大气田开发商在一份提交给特拉维夫证券交易所的声明中说,预计在2019年或2020年开始天然气商业生产的列维坦大气田在未来10至15年内将每年向埃及Dolphinus控股公司供应40亿立方米天然气。
在签署意向书以后,双方同意谈判最后协议的条款。他们说,天然气价格与其他合同相似并与布伦特原油成本挂钩,其中包括一个最低价。
列维坦大气田开发商之一的以色列德勒克钻井集团首席执行官尤西·阿布对路透社记者说:“我们希望尽快与埃及方面达成最终协议。”

Israel's Leviathan Signs Preliminary Egypt Natgas Deal
Reuters
Wednesday, November 25, 2015
JERUSALEM– Natural gas from Israel's vast Leviathan offshore gas field will be pumped to Egypt via an existing subsea pipeline for up to 15 years under a preliminary deal announced by the field's developers on Wednesday.
Leviathan, which is expected to begin production in 2019 or 2020, will supply Egypt's Dolphinus Holdings with up to 4 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas per year for 10 to 15 years, the companies said in a statement to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
Signing a letter of intent, the two sides agreed to negotiate terms for a final deal.
The price of gas is similar to other contracts and is linked to the cost of Brent oil and includes a floor price, they said.
"We expect to reach a final agreement quickly," Yossi Abu, chief executive of Israel's Delek Drilling, told Reuters.
