Leviathan gas field, Natural gas field in Mediterranean Sea, Palestine
Leviathan is a natural gas field in the Mediterranean Sea off the Israeli coast with substantial reserves located at considerable water depth. The infrastructure consists of several subsea wells connected to a processing platform positioned offshore.
The field was discovered in December 2010 by NEWMED Energy, Chevron, and Ratio, marking a turning point for Mediterranean energy production. This discovery opened new possibilities for the region's energy supply.
The development of this gas field has reshaped regional relationships and established energy partnerships between Israel, Egypt, and Jordan through gas exports to these neighboring countries.
Access to this site is restricted to authorized personnel as it is an active production facility at sea. Visitors can observe operations from coastal viewing points or learn more through information centers located onshore.
The field is connected to shore by two pipelines spanning 120 kilometers each, designed to operate for decades. The production platform itself is a massive structure specifically engineered for Mediterranean Sea conditions.
