Moreover, in recent months, the Tamar reservoir has begun to pay the state a Sheshinsky levy on gas sales agreements, in addition to royalties of more than half a billion NIS paid during 2020 from the Tamar reservoir alone.

Liami Weissman, CEO of Tamar Petroleum: “We conclude the fourth quarter of 2020 with positive momentum in gas sales from the Tamar reservoir, following the growing demand for gas in the economy, and we also enjoy significant districts signed in the last year. Accordingly, in the second half of 2020 there was an increase of over 40% in gas sales from the reservoir.” Of the year and we expect a significant increase in demand in the local market, among other things in light of the government’s policy to stop using coal. “

The company mentions that during 2020, agreements were signed with the rest of the partnership in the database for the sale of gas to Bazen and ICL, with an estimated amount of approximately $ 240 million. Moreover, in January and after ongoing negotiations led by Tamar Petroleum, Isramco Alon Gaz and Everest, the entire partnership in the Tamar reservoir signed an agreement that allows each partner to market gas separately and effectively removes Chevron’s “block” (marketing right) from the reservoir.

Accordingly, it was decided in the agreement that the IEC would purchase additional quantities of gas in the amount of at least 0.44 BCM during the first half of 2021 beyond the minimum amount to be charged under the supply agreement.

Weissman adds that “The steps we have taken, including a compromise agreement signed by all Tamar and IEC partners, the gas supply agreements with Bazan and ICL and the gas export agreement to Egypt will support increasing sales from the reservoir. We continue to work to sign new agreements with other customers and be a significant player in the Israeli gas economy.”
