JERUSALEM, July 22 (Xinhua) -- Israel's energy ministry approved Energean, a London-based oil and gas company, to explore and produce natural gas from the Katlan field in the eastern Mediterranean Sea on Monday.
The Katlan field, estimated to hold 68 billion cubic meters of natural gas, was discovered in 2022 and is considered one of the most significant offshore discoveries for Israel in years. It is located near the existing Leviathan, Tamar, and Karish fields offshore Israel's north.
