据原油新闻6月1日消息称，财经网站Calcalist周一报道，一个负责制定天然气政策的部际委员会建议，鉴于以色列国内天然气消费量的减少，以色列应增加对邻国的燃料出口。
Calcalist称，以色列的天然气田所有者获准出口每年总燃料产量的40%，约8300亿立方米。委员会说，建议的改变是将出口配额增加到全年总产量的52%。
该委员会还表示，如果在以色列领海内发现了更多的天然气田，根本不应该强加出口配额。
2月，埃及石油和矿产资源部长Tarek el-Molla访问以色列，这是埃及政府高级官员五年来首次公开访问。Calcalist 说，作为访问的一部分，建立了一条从利维坦油井到埃及液化天然气 (LNG) 工厂的水下管道的可能性被提出，以促进对欧洲的出口。
委员会认为，放宽配额将导致以色列与埃及和约旦签订更多合同，并将加强以色列与其阿拉伯邻国之间的政治联系，进一步确立以色列作为地区能源力量的地位。
该委员会由能源部、财政部、司法部、外交部和环境部、反垄断监管机构、国家经济委员会和以色列国家安全委员会的成员组成。Calcalist称，该委员会将在未来几天公布一份征求公众意见的提案草案，之后将提交一份最终报告给政府批准。
今年10月，以色列政府设定了一个目标，即到2030年，以色列30%的电力生产来自可再生能源，这将降低当地的天然气消耗。该委员会认为，这将使更多的燃料出口。
利维坦油田是以色列最大的油田，于2019年12月31日开始开采，紧随其后的是附近的第二大油田塔马尔，其天然气储量约为10万亿立方英尺(tcf)，是利维坦的一半。自 2017 年 1 月以来，以色列一直从塔马尔油田向约旦出口天然气，利维坦油田于 2020 年 1 月开始向埃及出口。 利维坦对经济贡献更大、更重要。
这两个油田，连同较小的卡里什油田和塔宁油田，被视为这个传统上自然资源匮乏的国家的财富。它们提供了来自四个不同油田的当地生产的稳定能源，从而带来了更安全的供应，足以满足以色列几十年的所有电力需求，并随着出口，为地区天然气外交铺平了道路。

Israel Reportedly Set to Ease Export Quotas of Natural Gas
An inter-ministerial committee in charge of setting out natural gas policies has recommended that Israel increase the amount of fuel it exports to neighboring countries in light of a reduction of local consumption, the Calcalist financial website reported on Monday.
The owners of Israel’s natural gas fields are allowed to export a total of 40 percent of fuel produced per year, some 830 billion cubic meters (BCM), Calcalist said. The recommended change is to increase the export quota to 52% of total annual production, the committee said.
The committee also said that if additional gas fields are found within Israel’s territorial waters, there should be no export quotas imposed at all.
In February, Egypt’s Minister for Petroleum and Mineral Resources Tarek el-Molla visited Israel, the first public visit by a senior Egyptian government official in five years. As part of the visit, the possibility of setting up an underwater pipeline from the Leviathan well to Egypt-based liquified natural gas (LNG) plants was raised, to boost exports to Europe, Calcalist said.
The easing of the quota will lead to additional contracts with Egypt and Jordan, the committee assessed, and will strengthen political ties between Israel and its Arab neighbors, further establishing Israel as a regional energy force.
The committee is made up of members of the Energy, Finance, Justice, Foreign and Environment ministries, the antitrust regulator, the National Economic Council and the Israel National Security Council. In the coming days the committee will publish a draft proposal for public comments, after which a final report will be brought for government approval, Calcalist said.
In October, the Israeli government set an aim of having 30 percent of Israel’s electricity production come from renewable sources by 2030, which will lead to lower natural gas consumption locally. This will enable greater amounts of the fuel to be exported, the committee believes.
The Leviathan field, the nation’s largest, started pumping on December 31, 2019, followed in 2013 by the nearby Tamar, the second largest, which holds some 10 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas, half of the amount held in Leviathan. Israel has been exporting gas from the Tamar field to Jordan since January 2017, and the Leviathan field started exports to Egypt in January 2020. The Leviathan deals are considered to be bigger and more significant for the economy.
These two fields, along with the smaller Karish and Tanin fields, are seen as a bonanza for a nation that has traditionally been starved of natural resources. They provide a stable source of locally produced energy from four different fields, leading to a more secure supply that is enough to feed all of Israel’s electricity needs for decades, and with the option of exports, pave the way for regional natural gas diplomacy.
