天然气生产商 Energean 于 2025 年上半年（截至 6 月 30 日）获得了价值 40 亿美元的新的以色列长期天然气承购合同。

这一战略举措将显著增强该公司未来二十年的合同额度至200亿美元。

尽管取得了这些积极的进展，但 Energean 今年上半年的财务业绩受到一系列运营挑战的影响，包括计划中的必要工程停工和政府强制停产。

该公司在埃及、意大利、克罗地亚、英国和希腊的业务在 2025 年上半年的总产量为 44,000 桶油当量/天，仍然是实现价值最大化的重点。

然而，Energean 报告称，截至 6 月 30 日的六个月内，其核心利润下降了 11%，而税后利润却增长了近 24%。

调整后的息税折旧摊销前利润（EBITDAX）为5.05亿美元，税后利润达到1.1亿美元。

由于以色列 6 月份的暂时停产以及第二列石油列车投产推迟，Energean 修改了今年的产量预测。

该公司目前预计产量将在 145,000 桶油当量/天至 155,000 桶油当量/天之间，低于之前预期的 155,000 桶油当量/天至 165,000 桶油当量/天。

在埃及，Energean 首席执行官 Mathios Rigas 向路透社表示，其现有平台下方估计还蕴藏着 3 万亿立方英尺的天然气。

在以色列近海，该公司正考虑在 23 区块深层中生代岩石中未开发的地层进行钻探，里加斯认为这可能成为“整个东部（地中海）地区新的勘探开端”。

然而，Energean 正在为该油井寻找合作伙伴，并预计钻探必须等待地区稳定。

里加斯还提到，Energean 预计其位于以色列附近的 Katlan 气田每年产量可达 20 亿立方米，该气田将于 2027 年开始生产。

这些产出物将通过拟建的尼扎纳管道从以色列输送至埃及，但该管道尚未建成。

Energean, a gas producer, secured US$4 billion worth of new long-term Israeli gas offtake contracts in the first half of 2025 (H1 2025), ended 30 June.

This strategic move has significantly bolstered the company’s contract pipeline to US$20 billion over the next two decades.

Despite this positive development, Energean’s financial performance in the first half of the year has been affected by a series of operational challenges including a planned shutdown for essential works and a government-mandated suspension of production.

The company's operations across Egypt, Italy, Croatia, the UK and Greece, which collectively produced 44 000 boe/d in H1 2025, remain a focus for maximising value.

However, Energean reported an 11% decline in core profit for the six months leading up to 30 June, while its after-tax profit increased by nearly 24%.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and exploration expense (EBITDAX) stood at US$505 million, with after-tax profit reaching US$110 million.

The temporary suspension of production in Israel in June and a delay in commissioning the second oil train have led Energean to revise its production forecast for the year.

The company now expects production to range between 145 000 boe/d and 155 000 boe/d, a decrease from the previously anticipated 155 000 boe/d to 165 000 boe/d.

In Egypt, Energean's CEO, Mathios Rigas, told Reuters there is an estimated further 3 trillion ft3 of gas beneath its existing platforms.

Offshore Israel, the company is considering drilling into untapped formations in deep Mesozoic rocks in Block 23, which Rigas believes could be a "new play opener for the whole East (Mediterranean)".

However, Energean is seeking a partner for this well and anticipates that drilling will have to wait for regional stability.

Rigas also mentioned that Energean expects to produce up to 2 billion m3 a year from its Katlan field off Israel, which is set to begin production in 2027.

This output is due to be transported via the proposed Nitzana pipeline from Israel to Egypt, which is yet to be constructed.
