Israel to become center of new 'oil and gas rush'

A top US energy industry expert believes Israel is going to soon experience an "oil and gas rush" by major Western energy development companies.
Speaking to the Israeli financial newspaper Globes, Fred Zeidman said the recent discovery of a massive natural gas field off Israel's Mediterranean coast had drawn the attention of every major Western energy company.
Israeli companies Delek and Isramco have already tapped the natural gas field, together with British energy giant Noble Energy. Zeidman noted that quite often, "as soon as Noble goes to a place, many other companies follow in its wake."
That could mean an enormous economic boom for Israel and its transformation overnight into a major international energy exporter.

Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?" '
