Israeli gas fields will resume operations following a truce between Israel and Iran.

Israel's Leviathan and Karish gas fields are set to resume production after nearly two weeks of closure due to the Israel-Iran conflict.
The offshore fields have been given government approval to restart, according to Israeli Leviathan partner Ratio Energies and Karish operator Energean.
Ratio stated that Leviathan operator Chevron is working to return to normal operations within hours, while Energean is also focused on resuming normal operations.
The restarts follow a US-brokered ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Iran. The shutdowns at Leviathan and Karish made Israel solely dependent on the Chevron-operated Tamar gas field for domestic demand, primarily for power generation.
Additionally, these outages halted gas exports to Egypt and Jordan, leading to significant industrial shutdowns in both countries. The resumption of operations at Leviathan and Karish should allow exports to restart.
Last year, Leviathan produced 11.3 billion m³, Tamar produced 10.1 billion m³, and Karish produced 5.8 billion m³.
