石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年3月22日伦敦报道，以色列能源部的一位消息人士说，以色列向埃及出口天然气所需的所有要求迄今尚未完成，以色列向埃及首批天然气供应预计将至少要到今年年中以后才能实现。
美国生产商诺布尔能源公司和以色列合作伙伴德勒克钻井公司与埃及国有Sphinx EG公司一起在去年9月同意以5.18亿美元的价格购买闲置的东地中海天然气(EMG)管道的39%股份，作为使用这条管道反向从以色列向埃及输送天然气计划的一部分。
当时曾宣布，一旦协议达成，以色列将在“2019年初”开始向埃及出口天然气。
以色列能源部这名消息人士表示：“向埃及出口天然气的所有必要程序迄今尚未完成。”
这条距离以色列和埃及海岸90公里的连接以色列从阿什克伦到埃及阿里什附近的管道网络。这条管道从2008年开始向以色列输送埃及天然气，直到2012年才停止输送。2012年阿拉伯之春之后，开罗的天然气产量开始下降。
诺布尔能源公司在2月底曾表示，该公司仍未完成EMG管道的交易。诺布尔能源公司旗下拥有以色列两大海上气田塔马尔气田和列维坦气田，这两大气田预计将在今年年底投产。

Procedures for Israeli gas exports to Egypt not yet complete
All the requirements needed for the start of Israeli gas exports to Egypt are not yet in place, an Israeli energy ministry source said, with first flows now not expected until at least the middle of this year.
US-based producer Noble Energy and its Israeli partner Delek Drilling -- together with Egyptian-owned Sphinx EG -- in September last year agreed to buy a 39% stake in the idled East Mediterranean Gas (EMG) pipeline for $518 million as part of plans to use the pipeline in reverse for Israeli gas to flow to Egypt.
At the time it was announced that exports would start "at the beginning of 2019" once the deal was completed.
"Not all the necessary procedures for exporting gas to Egypt have been completed," the Israeli ministry source said.
The pipeline -- which runs for 90 km off the Israeli and Egyptian coasts -- connects the Israel pipeline network from Ashkelon to the Egyptian pipeline network near El Arish.
It started operations in 2008 to flow Egyptian gas to Israel until 2012 when operations were halted as Cairo's gas production began to decline after the Arab Spring the previous year.
Noble -- operator of both the producing Tamar field and the giant Leviathan field due online at the end of 2019 -- said in late February it still had not closed the EMG pipeline deal.
