The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure reported that 2025 natural gas royalty revenues totaled approximately 2 billion shekels, with the Leviathan and Tamar fields contributing 833 million and 675 million shekels respectively. Revenues declined from 2024 due to the dollar's depreciation, lower oil prices, and a 3% drop in production.
Earlier today at 12:50, The Zioneer reported that 2025 natural gas royalty revenues reached approximately 2 billion shekels, based on Israeli media reports. The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has now published a detailed breakdown: the Leviathan field contributed 833 million shekels, Tamar 675 million, with the remainder from smaller fields. Revenues declined from 2024 levels, which the ministry attributed to the dollar's depreciation, lower oil prices, and a 3% drop in production volume. Since 2004, total natural resource royalties have reached 17 billion shekels, with the majority from natural gas. The 2025 figures reflect the continued dominance of the Leviathan and Tamar reservoirs, which together account for over 75% of gas royalty income.
