Israel began exporting oil to Europe this month, with a cargo of sweet crude coming out of the Karish gas field facilities in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n
Energean, the international company that manages the field, explained in a statement that they were “delighted to confirm that the first lift of a cargo of Israeli crude oil was carried out in the Karish field.” And they add: “For the first time in the history of Israel’s oil and gas production, liquid hydrocarbons will be exported to world markets.”<\/p>\n\n
Karish and the Tamar and Leviathan fields have made Israel a regional natural gas powerhouse in recent years, which it now exports to several countries.<\/p>\n\n
Nick Witney, commercial director of the Energean Group, said in that regard that, “while we remain a gas-focused company,” “light, sweet crude oil produced responsibly in modern, low-carbon facilities is in high demand across world level\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
“We are happy and proud that Energean has made it easy for Israel to join the club of international oil exporters,” said company CEO Mathios Rigas.<\/p>\n\n
Karish, Tamar and Leviathan are reducing Israel’s dependence on foreign energy.<\/p>\n\n
