據油氣新聞9月2日消息稱，根據以色列能源部周一發布的一份報告，以色列2020年上半年的天然氣和石油收入總計達4.72億新謝克爾（約合1.4億美元）。

該報告包括天然氣、石油和礦產的特許權使用費收入，以及各種費用，這些收入在2020年1月至6月總計約1.427億美元。

與去年同期的總收入1.266億美元相比，增長了12.7%。

以色列的大部分天然氣收入來自地中海塔馬爾和利維坦氣田生產的天然氣。

上半年，塔馬爾的特許權使用費約為7400萬美元，產量約為34億立方米。

與去年同期相比，這一數字下降了39.5%，原因是冠狀病毒危機導致需求下降，以及對以色列電力公司(IEC)的銷售減少，IEC將其72％的購買量轉讓給利維坦油田。

利維坦油田于2019年底開始運營，上半年從油田收取的特許權使用費達到6600萬美元，產量為31億立方米。

利維坦的大部分天然氣銷售給了IEC，也出口到鄰國約旦和埃及。

該部預計，如果沒有冠狀病毒危機引起的巨大變化，下半年塔馬爾和利維坦油田的特許權使用費總額將達到1.72億美元。

此外，上半年礦產的特許權使用費總計約136萬美元，比2019年1月至6月減少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.
