Propose rename "Arab-Israeli Conflict" section to "Lebanese Claim to Rights"

The Lebanese claim to rights over the field, or part of it, seems to have little to do with the Arab-Israeli Conflict. WikiDMc (talk) 15:02, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have now renamed the section, in the absence of any objection. WikiDMc (talk) 14:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

its a pretty anti-israel article and bias and quite long nay body want to fix it to make it fair and balanced and short —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.123.243 (talk) 20:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Economic Zone

The article could be improved by showing a map including Israel's claimed economic zone.Jdkag (talk) 12:26, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! A much larger map is needed to show where the field is with regards to Lebanon. There is such a map on page two of this document on the website of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Is it legal to copy it? The information is from March 2011, an update to the information currently in the paragraph about Lebanon's claim. Then the sentence, "It's a shame no maps are provided" can be deleted.

Langotsky Claims

According to Isramco SEC filings, STX transferred its share of 11.55% of the license to Isramco in January 2006. Drilling didn't start until the end of 2008. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdkag (talk • contribs) 01:37, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why did BG quit in 2005?

According to a 2005 report at http://wn.com/s/israelpower_old/ (on-line on March 22, 2013) "Over the past four years, in an important development for a country which has never had significant domestic energy resources, several energy companies (Israel's Yam Thetis group, Isramco and British Gas) have discovered significant amounts of natural gas off the coast of Israel (and even more off the Gaza Strip). Israel's new offshore gas reserves belong mainly to two groups: 1) the Yam Thetis group (comprising the Avner Oil, Delek Drilling, and Samedan); and 2) a British Gas partnership with Isramco and others. In August 2000, Isramco/BG announced that it had discovered a large natural gas field 12 miles offshore at its Nir-1 well.... In March 2005, Isramco announced plans to drill off the Ashdod coast at a cost of $13 million as part of the Med Ashdod oil and gas exploration partnership, which the company heads. It remains unclear as to which partners will participate in the project. Also, in March 2005, BG announced that it was quitting the Gal natural gas partnership,which it headed, almost completely abandoning its search for natural gas off the coast of Israel. BG concluded that the investment was not worthwhile without the certainty that it could sell natural gas to the IEC."Jdkag (talk) 00:02, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
