The Commissioner's approval was given subject to several conditions, which will be implemented in coordination with the professional staff of the Natural Resources Administration at the Ministry of Energy and according to its guidelines, such as holding workshops on geological and engineering topics.
In his approval, the Commissioner noted that in order to increase the production rate from the reservoir above 2,100 MMSCFD, with the implementation of the second stage of the Leviathan Expansion, supporting documents will be required to be submitted in accordance with the guidelines of the professional staff of the Natural Resources Administration at the Ministry of Energy, which will constitute an update to the Updated Development Plan and will require the Commissioner's approval.
The Commissioner also noted in his approval that the position of the Ministry of Energy as of this date is that the amount of natural gas that can be produced from the reservoir (i.e., the amount of gas produced since the start of production plus the remaining producible gas in the reservoir) is about 19.4 TCF (about 551 BCM) (compared to the previous estimate of the Ministry of Energy, which was about 17.6 TCF (about 500 BCM)), and that these data will continue to be reviewed by the Ministry in the coming years.
It should be noted that the Partnership's corresponding estimate, based on the report of Netherland, Sewell & Associates Inc ("NSAI") as of December 31, 2024, stands at about 22.3 TCF (632 BCM).
