Shell plans to buy Israeli, Cyprus gas for Egypt plant

Royal Dutch Shell Plc is reportedly in talks to buy natural gas from Israel’s Leviathan field, combine it with output from Cyprus’s Aphrodite field, in which it owns a 35% stake, and pump it to Idku LNG plant in Egypt on the Mediterranean coast. Talks are at an early stage and some of Aphrodite’s gas could be sold locally, said the sources. Israeli and Cypriot gas finds, together with the giant Zohr field off Egypt and reservoirs off Lebanon, could create a center of gas production right on Europe’s doorstep.
