The Tanin gas field (Hebrew: מאגר תנין, "Crocodile reservoir") is a natural gas reservoir located 120 kilometers off the coast of Israel. It is the country's seventh natural gas discovery.[1] On 5 February 2012 Noble Energy reported that the Ensco 5006 drilling rig (formerly the North American Pride) had struck gas at a depth of 5,500 meters.[2] Preliminary estimates put the potential for natural gas at Tanin at 1.2-1.3 trillion cubic feet.[3] Tanin forms part of the Alon A license, in which three companies are partners: Nobel Energy (47%), Delek Drilling (26.5%), and Avner Oil Exploration (26.5%).[4]
