Israel on Oct. 9 suspended the Chevron-operated Tamar gas field, whose platform is located some 25 kilometres (km) (15.5 miles) off the city of Ashdod along Israel's southern Mediterranean coast. Tamar produced 10.25 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas in 2022, 85% of which was used in the domestic market while the remaining 15% was exported to Egypt and Jordan.
