Energy / Oil & Gas
In just over a decade, Israel went from importing nearly all of its energy to becoming a natural gas producer and exporter. The story offers useful lessons in planning, investment and regional cooperation.
Tamar, Leviathan and Karish
The Tamar field was discovered off Israel's coast in 2009 and began production in 2013. Leviathan, one of the largest deep-water gas discoveries of its decade, followed in 2010 and began production at the end of 2019. Karish came online in 2022.
Israel's offshore gas fields now supply over 70% of Israel's electricity, generate billions in export revenue, and provide long-term reserves projected to last well into the 2060s. Gas exports to Egypt and Jordan have also strengthened regional ties.
Lessons for Iran
Iran holds some of the largest natural gas reserves in the world, yet frequently faces shortages and power cuts. Modern infrastructure, transparent investment and sound energy planning could help turn that wealth into reliable power for every Iranian household.
Our Oil & Gas and Energy networks bring together professionals who want to share this kind of experience and prepare for cooperation in a future free Iran.
