Co-owns the Tamar fossil gas field in the eastern Mediterranean, which produces gas for the Israeli domestic market and exports to Egypt and Jordan.
Tamar Petroleum is a publicly traded Israeli energy company that owns 16.75 percent of both the Tamar and Dalit fossil gas fields in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Its revenues reached nearly $300 million in 2025, 42 percent of which came from gas sales to the Israel Electric Corporation.
The Tamar fossil gas reservoir is co-owned and operated by Chevron. Most of its fossil gas is sold to the Israel domestic market, including the state-owned Israel Electric Corporation and private Israeli electricity companies. Gas is used to produce electricity and feed it into the Israeli power grid, which includes all Israeli military bases and government agencies, as well as Israel’s illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian and Syrian territories.
The supply of electricity across Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory is used as a tool of subjugation, collective punishment, annexation, and dispossession.
As part of Israel’s apartheid regime, some Palestinian communities inside Israel and across the occupied Palestinian territory are banned from connection to the grid; some are provided subpar services; some are charged differently than nearby Jewish-Israeli towns; and many suffer punitive power cuts as a form of collective punishment. This is energy apartheid.
The Dalit reservoir is also co-owned and operated by Chevron. The field was discovered in 2009, but has not yet been developed as of 2026.
