以色列上半年油气收入达到1.4亿美元

据油气新闻9月2日消息称，根据以色列能源部周一发布的一份报告，以色列2020年上半年的天然气和石油收入总计达4.72亿新谢克尔（约合1.4亿美元）。

该报告包括天然气、石油和矿产的特许权使用费收入，以及各种费用，这些收入在2020年1月至6月总计约1.427亿美元。

与去年同期的总收入1.266亿美元相比，增长了12.7%。

以色列的大部分天然气收入来自地中海塔马尔和利维坦气田生产的天然气。

上半年，塔马尔的特许权使用费约为7400万美元，产量约为34亿立方米。

与去年同期相比，这一数字下降了39.5%，原因是冠状病毒危机导致需求下降，以及对以色列电力公司(IEC)的销售减少，IEC将其72％的购买量转让给利维坦油田。

利维坦油田于2019年底开始运营，上半年从油田收取的特许权使用费达到6600万美元，产量为31亿立方米。

利维坦的大部分天然气销售给了IEC，也出口到邻国约旦和埃及。

该部预计，如果没有冠状病毒危机引起的巨大变化，下半年塔马尔和利维坦油田的特许权使用费总额将达到1.72亿美元。

此外，上半年矿产的特许权使用费总计约136万美元，比2019年1月至6月减少10.2％。

Israel’s natural gas, oil revenues reach 140 mln USD in H1

Israel’s natural gas and oil revenues totaled 472 million new shekels (about 140 million U.S. dollars) in the first half of 2020 (H1), according to a report released Monday by the state’s Ministry of Energy.

The report includes revenues from royalties from natural gas, oil and minerals, as well as fees, which all together amounted to about 142.7 million dollars in January-June 2020.

This is an increase of 12.7 percent compared to the same period last year, when revenues totaled 126.6 million dollars.

Most of Israel’s natural gas revenues came from the natural gas produced at Tamar and Leviathan fields in the Mediterranean Sea.

The royalties from the Tamar amounted to 74 million dollars in H1 from a production of about 3.4 billion cubic meters (BCM).

This is a decline of 39.5 percent compared to the same period last year, due to decreased demands amid the coronavirus crisis, as well as decrease of sales to the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) which transferred 72 percent of its purchases to Leviathan field.

The total royalties collected from the Leviathan, which began operating at the end of 2019, amounted to 66 million dollars in H1 from a production of 3.1 BCM.

Most of Leviathan natural gas sales were to the IEC, as well as exports to neighboring countries Jordan and Egypt.

The ministry expects that total royalties from Tamar and Leviathan fields will amount to 172 million dollars in H2, if there are no drastic changes caused by the coronavirus crisis.

In addition, royalties from minerals totaled about 1.36 million dollars in H1, a decrease of 10.2 percent compared to January-June 2019.
