Production from the Tamar field offshore Israel started in April. The field is estimated to hold nine trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and is being developed by a group that includes Noble Energy, Delek Drilling, Avner Oil Exploration and Isramco Negev 2. Noble says the Tamar project includes the world’s longest subsea tieback at 93 miles and in 5,505 ft water depth. Gas from the field 80km offshore Haifa is flowing to Ashdod.
US firm Kiewit ƶijϻ Services fabricated the 11,000-ton topsides for the Tamar field development with total production capacity of 1,600 MMSCFD. It also built the jacket, which sits in 800 feet of water.
