Chevron (CVX.N) has shut down the Tamar natural gas platform off the Israeli coast at the instruction of the country s energy ministry, the company said on Wednesday, following the wave of unrest in the region.
The Israeli energy ministry said all of Israel s energy needs will continue to be met despite the shutting down of Tamar, the main source of natural gas for the local market. In accordance with instructions received from the Ministry of Energy, we have shut-in and depressurised the Tamar Platform, Chevron said in a statement. The Tamar platform is located some 25 kilometres (15.5 miles) off the city of Ashdod along Israel s southern Mediterranean coast.
