Energean announced the connection of the Karish Gas Field to the Israel National Gas Line (INGL).

The company stated that once the field is onstream it will produce and supply significant quantities of natural gas to Israel and eventually the wider Eastern Mediterranean region.

It is also expected that Energean’s Karish development will be notably beneficial to the Israeli gas market, creating a new, competitive element in gas supply that will drive optionality for local and regional gas consumers.

Mathios Rigas, Energean CEO: “This is another significant moment bringing us closer to the delivery of First Gas from our flagship Karish development and is testament to the hard work of our employees. Upon arrival, the groundbreaking Energean Power FPSO will be the first to be deployed in the eastern Mediterranean Sea – providing enhanced security of supply for both Israeli and regional gas consumers whilst bolstering Energean’s position as a low carbon energy producer, driving the energy transition in the wider Mediterranean.”
