Natural gas in Israel is the country's primary energy source for electricity production. Israel began producing natural gas from its own offshore gas fields in 2004. Between 2005 and 2012, Israel imported gas from Egypt via the al-Arish-Ashkelon pipeline, an arrangment that ended due to Egyptian Crisis of 2011-14. In 2017, Israel was producing over 9 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas a year.[1] Israel had 1,087 billion cubic meters (cu m) of proven reserves of natural gas as of 2022.[2] In early 2017, Israel began exporting natural gas to the Kingdom of Jordan.
