the Leviathan oil field, in front of Cyprusin the Eastern Mediterranean, early 2013
Is this a curse? Two years ago, in June 2010, the Leviathan, the largest gas field in Eastern Mediterranean was discovered by Houston's Noble Energy in Israeli territorial waters. After a couple of nicely executed wells, in January 2011 the find was elevated to 16 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) and then because of ongoing work, the field size could go up to 25 Tcf of gas. Current thinking suggests also 600 million barrels of oil. Added to the Tamar field's 8.4 Tcf and other smaller accumulations, Israel might have booked already 50 Tcf of gas.
