Israel's Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has granted a gas exploration license for the G area to a partnership comprising Israel's Ration company and American firm Murphy. The two companies will share the license equally. The announcement came on Monday, following a three-year delay in the process. Despite the ministry's celebratory framing of the deal as strengthening Israel's regional energy power and increasing competition, the departure of a significant partner, UK-based Dana Petroleum, from the consortium was also revealed. Dana Petroleum had held a 15% stake in the partnership before withdrawing. In parallel, the ministry is easing the terms of another gas exploration tender, initially published in July, to encourage broader participation from companies.
