Israel has restored its natural gas exports to Egypt following a ceasefire with Iran that brought an end to nearly two weeks of conflict. Gas flows are now back to around 1 billion cubic feet per day, a significant jump from the reduced levels seen when operations were disrupted.

Two major gas fields; Leviathan, run by Chevron, and Karish, operated by Energean were temporarily shut down earlier this month after Israel launched military strikes on Iran. These fields supply the majority of Israel’s gas exports to Egypt and Jordan. Their restart, made possible by a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, has stabilized exports and allowed Egypt to resume gas deliveries to factories that had been forced to halt production.

The recovery is a welcome development for Egypt, which has faced growing energy challenges in recent years, moving from being an exporter to an importer of gas. During the conflict, Egyptian authorities had to seek alternative fuels and ration gas supplies to certain sectors in order to maintain electricity production.

With gas flows back to normal, Egypt is easing back into regular operations, though the recent crisis highlighted the country’s vulnerability to regional instability.
