Gas production is carried out by four wells connected by two 18-inch, 73-mile subsea tiebacks to a platform located 10 km offshore . The processing platform has the capacity to handle up to 1.2 BCF of gas per day (12 BCM per year) and could be expanded to handle up to 2.1–2.4 BCF per day (21–24 BCM per year). Gas and pipelines link the platform to an onshore reception station at Dor which is connected to the domestic Israeli gas a.

Development and production operations in the Arctic offshore as a result of exploration have been limited, with the exception of the Barents and Norwegian seas. In Alaska, exploration subsequent to the discovery of the Prudhoe Bay oilfield has focussed on the onshore and shallow coastal waters.SummaryExploration for petroleum in the Arctic is expensive and challenging both technically and logistically. In the. .

In the years post 2000, sedimentary basins offshore were believed by some geologists to have high potential for large oil discoveries. In a comprehensive study of the potential of Arctic basins published in 2008, the.
[pdf] These platforms can take the form of either floating semisubmersible platforms or drill ships. The basic idea behind their design is that, once the well has been drilled, much of the production equipment can b.
