Israel is negotiating a $15 billion agreement to supply natural gas to Jordan.
If the deal goes through, Israel will pipe 1.6 trillion cubic feet of gas over a period of 15 years to the Hashemite Kingdom.
Texas-based Noble Energy jointly operates the giant Leviathan field from which the gas will be supplied.
Keith Elliott, Noble’s senior vice president for the Eastern Mediterranean, told Reuters: “We now have over 60 per cent of Leviathan’s initial capacity and 80 percent of targeted initial sales volumes secured.”
