据7月8日Kallanish Energy报道，以色列Delek集团表示，他们已经完成了对一条通往埃及的海底天然气管道的测试，但是6月30日之前的商业销售并没有像最初预计的那样进行。
Delek及其合作伙伴美国诺布尔能源公司于2018年初签署了一项协议，将从以色列海上天然气田Tamar和Leviathan向埃及客户出口价值150亿美元的天然气。
Delek Drilling副首席执行官Yossi Gvura在6月初对路透社表示，该公司希望在6月底之前开始向埃及销售天然气，但该公司表示，上周的出口尚未开始。
此前有报道称，由于考虑到以色列今年夏天对天然气的需求，该公司预计，到2019年底利Leviathan气田投产后，才会开始向埃及销售天然气。
Delek和诺布尔已同意购买以色列阿什克伦和埃及阿里什之间的EMG天然气管道，以运输天然气供应。现在管道的技术检查已经完成，Delek预计在8月31日前完成EMG的交易。

Delek says gas exports to Egypt by year’s end
Israel’s Delek Drilling said it has completed testing of a subsea natural gas pipeline to Egypt, but commercial sales by June 30 did not occur as originally projected, Kallanish Energy
Delek and its partner, the U.S.’s Noble Energy, signed a deal early in 2018 to export $15 billion in natural gas from Israeli offshore gas fields Tamar and Leviathan to an Egyptian customer.
Delek Drilling deputy CEO Yossi Gvura told Reuters in early June the company hoped to start selling natural gas to Egypt by the end of June, but the company said olast week exports had yet to begin.
Due to the forecast demand for gas in Israel over the summer, the company expects commercial sales to Egypt to begin Delek and Noble have agreed to buy into the EMG gas pipeline between Ashkelon in Israel and El-Arish in Egypt to transport the gas supplies. Now that the technical examination of the pipeline is complete, Delek expects to close the EMG deal by Aug. 31.
