East Mediterranean Breaking News:

The Global Oil & Gas Outlook 2020
Walking the tightrope—vigilance required to keep moving forward in 2020 As we, once again, move from one year to the next, how do we assess the oil and gas and chemical sectors’ performance in 2019 and its prospects for 2020? As always, there are headwinds and tailwinds, risks and opportunities, uncertainties and foreseeable trends, but in this report we aim to take stock of the main factors to watch for in 2020 across the diverse oil, gas, and chemical industry. Over the past decade, we have seen the heights of bullish optimism and seemingly limitless investment during the years of the $100 per barrel world, from 2011 to mid-2014, and the lows of the price crash and extended oil downturn, from mid-2014 to 2017. Neither extreme seems in the cards for an imminent return as the industry has learned valuable lessons from both episodes, but uncertainties are clearly still a challenge to performance and investment. As we evaluate the most prominent trends and issues for the oil and gas and chemical sectors in this outlook, executives in these businesses seem keenly aware of wider macroeconomic and business environmental risks, which seem to be gaining strength. Among these are: Weakening economic growth, not only in the United States but also in Europe and China; Ongoing, perhaps intensifying, trade tensions, which can create uncertainty, dampen growth, and lead to modifications in long-established supply chains; and The many political risks, of course, including the US election cycle, the outcome of the Brexit process in Europe, and tensions in the Middle East between multiple states and non-state actors with different objectives. And, while walking the tightrope across these shifting sands in 2020, fundamental changes in the long-term business environment could become more salient. So, attention to the coming disruptive forces associated with this century’s energy transition and sustainability imperatives is increasingly crucial alongside day-to-day positioning.

Israeli gas flows into Egypt
A statement from Noble Energy, which works on the offshore Leviathan field, noted that sales to Jordan had begun on January 1. First sales from the field were reported on December 31. Gas is exported to Egypt via the East Mediterranean Gas (EMG) pipeline, in which Noble has a stake. “I’ve been very pleased with the startup and early performance which has provided confidence in meeting our 2020 sales outlook,” said Noble’s senior vice president for the offshore J Keith Elliott. “Leviathan natural gas provides redundancy in supply domestically and enables Israel to further transition from coal, improving air quality for Israel’s citizens. Additionally, the asset supports regional economic co-operation and development through its exports to both regional and global customers.” Interconnections between the Israeli, Jordanian and Egyptian gas networks are now “fully operational”, Noble said. Exports from Leviathan go to Egypt’s Dolphinus Holdings. For the original article please click here.

EMC is part of the OMC – MOC group of events which covers the Mediterannean Energy Sector.

EMC is set to become the 3rd meeting in the mediterranean area strategically located in Cyprus which has recently emerged as one of the most interesting areas in the world energy circuit.

EMC 2020 is the essential platform for domestic and international stakeholders that invest, meet , network, share ideas and create new partnerships.

THE NEW MEDITERRANEAN ALLIANCE

The Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum was the meeting place for the energy ministries coming from Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, and Palestine held in Cairo to shape new alliances given the major gas discoveries in the East Mediterranean area making Cyprus the key meeting place to host a world class Exhibition and Conference.
