Foundation of rig for Leviathan gas field arrives in Israel
Israel's Delek Drilling and its US partner, Noble Energy, say the foundation of their rig for the Leviathan gas field has arrived.
The foundation, known as the platform jacket, is being placed Sunday around 10 kilometers (6 miles) off Israel's coast. It marks the first stage of an ambitious project they say will wean Israel off coal and revolutionize its economy by turning it into an energy exporter.
