ATP Oil and Gas has hit gas at its Shimson well in the Levant Basin off Israel’s Mediterranean coast, the company announced on Monday. Drilling at the well found more than 19 metres of natural gas in the Bet Guvrin sands, at a subsea depth of around 4,400 metres, and will complement existing efforts to mitigate a supply shortfall following repeated attacks on pipelines exporting Egyptian gas to Israel.
