The Leviathan field and the war in Gaza
The onshore and offshore gas and oil fields discovered in Egypt in the 1990s convinced Israeli businessman Gideon Tadmor to start drilling for gas or oil. His company, Avner Oil and Gas, later became part of the Delek Group, and they realised they needed expertise for such depths. The small Samedan Oil Corporation provided that expertise and joined the project. In 1999, they drilled their first well, and by 2000, it was producing. It took 10 years to find the Tamar field, about 90 km off the coast of Haifa, which began producing gas in March this year.
