Delek Drilling sells Tamar Petroleum stake

After the announcement this week that Delek Drilling has signed an MOU for the sale of its 22% holding in the Tamar natural gas reservoir to Mubadala Petroleum of Abu Dhabi, Delek Drilling is also selling its stake in Tamar Petroleum.

Delek Drilling reported this morning that it had sold its entire stake in Tamar Petroleum in an off-floor transaction for NIS 100 million. The deal, which will close in the next few days, is a further substantial step in Delek Drilling’s exit from the Tamar reservoir.
