CAPACITY EXPANSION – UNLOCKING FURTHER VALUE

Delek Group and its partners are currently evaluating alternatives for expanding the production capacity of its Tamar lease to up to 20.4BCM/Y (1,974 mmcf/d). This expansion will enable Tamar to increase its supply of natural gas to the Israeli market while also potentially feeding natural gas to the liquefaction plant of Union Fenosa Gas (Damietta) in Egypt.

The Tamar Partnership is currently in negotiations with Union Fenosa Gas to supply 4.5 BCM of natural gas per annum for a period of 15 years with an option to increase to 7 BCM per annum.

Estimated cost of the capacity expansion plan: up to USD 2 billion.
Estimated FID to first gas: 24 months

ISRAEL GOVERNMENT’S NATURAL GAS FRAMEWORK

According to the Israel Natural Gas Framework approved by the Israeli Government, Delek is permitted to undertake the Tamar Expansion project, and must divest all of its holdings in Tamar by 2021.

TAMAR’S DIVESTMENT PROCESS

As per the Natural Gas Framework Plan, in July 2017, Tamar Petroleum, a special purpose company established by Delek Group’s partnership, Delek Drilling LP, commenced trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, following a successful IPO, under the ticker ‘TMRP’. Delek Drilling sold its working interest of 9.25% in the Tamar and Dalit Leases to Tamar Petroleum. In exchange, Delek Drilling received approximately NIS 3 billion (approximately USD 850 million) as well as a shareholding in Tamar Petroleum amounting to 40%. As a result, Delek Group will recognize an after-tax profit attributed to the Company’s shareholders of approximately NIS 800 million in the third quarter of 2017. This amount also includes the estimate of the fair value of the Group’s entitlement to receive future production-based royalties for the rights sold to Tamar Petroleum.

Delek Group’s partnership is continuing to assess various alternatives for the sale of the balance of its remaining holdings in Tamar and Dalit.
