Egypt locked in a long-term energy backstop after Israeli Prime Minister <\/strong>Benjamin Netanyahu signed off overnight on the stalled USD 35 bn natural gas export agreement.<\/strong> The deal will see Chevron and its partners in the Leviathan gas field, NewMed Energy and Ratio Energies, export 130 bcm of gas<\/a> to Egypt between 2026 and 2040, Netanyahu said in a televised statement overnight (watch, runtime: 5:30<\/a>). The agreement is the largest in Israel\u2019s history, Netanyahu noted. <\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/p>\n

The supply agreement will play a critical role in stabilizing Egypt\u2019s natural gas supply<\/strong>, which has struggled to balance rising domestic demand and with a fall in local production supply, thanks in large part to technical challenges with the massive offshore Zohr field. That\u2019s had us importing more and more LNG to keep the lights on and prevent a return to the days of rolling blackouts. <\/p>\n

It will also curb our natural gas import bills:<\/strong> The Madbouly government had earlier secured<\/a>LNG supply through 2026<\/a> at a total estimated cost of USD 8 bn after signing agreements with six international energy companies, a government source in the energy sector previously told EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n

Why Israel, you may wonder? <\/strong>It\u2019s cheap (so less pressure on our FX reserves) and the infrastructure is already in place (so no time delay to build or rent infrastructure \u2014 and no capex or leasing costs). The volume we\u2019ll be importing from Israel could come in as much as USD 28 bn cheaper than had we bought the same volumes on the open market at current prices, Al Arabiya<\/a> suggests. <\/p>\n

And our LNG re-export ambitions will get a shot in the arm<\/strong>, allowing us to use existing liquefaction plants to re-export the gas as LNG to Europe. Liquefying and exporting as much as 60% of the gas we import from Israel could generate c. USD 22 bn in revenue here in Egypt, Al Arabiya reports. <\/p>\n

BACKGROUND- Egypt and Israel first inked an agreement in early August<\/strong> that would see flows first increase from 4.5 bn cubic meters in 2025 to 6.5 bn cubic meters as early as 2026. Netanyahy then froze the agreement in September<\/a> amid rising Israeli-Egyptian tensions over the war in Gaza and Cairo\u2019s military deployments in Sinai. The deadline to obtain an export permit from Israel\u2019s Energy Ministry for the project was later pushed<\/a> to 31 December. <\/p>\n

\n

In other energy news\u2026 <\/p>\n

Britai<\/strong>n exempted our Zohr gas field from Russia sanctions<\/strong>, allowing continued payments linked to the project until October 2027, Reuters<\/a> reports. Russian oil player Rosneft holds a 30% stake in Zohr alongside BP (10%) and majority-owner Eni. Rosneft was sanctioned by the UK and US in October, part of the fallout from Moscow\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. The British government gave no explanation to the carve-out. <\/p>\n
