石油设备网讯 据海上工程师网2022年12月14日报道，以色列能源部周二宣布启动第四轮以色列水域天然气开采权出售招标。
作为第四轮海上天然气开采权出售招标的一部分，以色列将提供四组勘探许可证(勘探区)。
中标者将获得为期3年的勘探许可证，如果中标公司提交了包括海上钻探作业在内的工作计划，勘探许可证有效期则可进一步延长两年。
此外，为了确保尽可能多的新公司参与这一轮招标，以色列能源部表示，已决定将每个投标组可以赢得的勘探许可证数量限制在两份。
以色列从位于地中海的塔马尔和利维坦大气田生产天然气，以色列希望海上勘探能够为其经济挖掘更多的天然气供应，增加天然气供应商之间的竞争，并降低当地消费者的天然气价格。
以色列时下还在寻求向国外出口天然气。

Israel Launches Fourth Offshore Exploration Bidding Round
Israel's energy ministry on Tuesday announced the launch of the fourth bidding round for gas exploration rights in Israeli waters.
As part of the fourth offshore exploration bidding round, four groups of exploration licenses (Zones) will be offered.
An exploration license will be granted for an initial period of three years to the successful bidder, subject to a further two-year extension provided that companies file a work program that includes offshore drilling.
Also, to ensure the participation of as many new groups as possible in the round, the Ministry said it had decided to limit the number of clusters that each group can win to only two.
Israel, which produces gas from Tamar and Leviathan gas fields in the Mediterranean, hopes that the offshore exploration round will unearth further gas supplies for its economy, increase competition between gas suppliers, and lower the price to the local consumers. It is also looking to export gas abroard.
