Israel Natural Gas Lines

What Israel Natural Gas Lines does

Israel Natural Gas Lines (INGL), branded as NatGaz, is the State of Israel's regulated monopoly operator of the national natural gas transmission system. Founded in 2004 and owned by the Government of Israel under the Government Companies Authority, INGL operates approximately 900 kilometers of high-pressure maritime and terrestrial pipelines that transport roughly 80 million cubic meters of natural gas per day from offshore fields (Tamar, Leviathan) and the Energean Karish/Tanin assets to power producers, large industrial plants, regional distribution companies, and export customers in Egypt and Jordan. The company employs 160 staff operating the system 24/7 and has invested more than ₪8 billion in infrastructure since inception. Transmission rates are regulated by the Natural Gas Authority under the Natural Gas Market Law and consist of a capacity component and an actual-flow component.

The technical backbone comprises a SCADA remote command-and-control system, PRMS (Pressure Reduction and Metering) facilities, pigging stations, and block valve stations. INGL is increasingly layering AI-enabled monitoring on top of this physical asset base through partnerships with Prisma Photonics (optical fiber sensing with AI anomaly detection covering 75 km per sensor), Exodigo (AI-powered 3D subsurface mapping), and T&M (autonomous drone security patrols). INGL holds an ilAAA credit rating from S&P Maalot and an Aa1 rating with positive outlook from Midroog (Moody's), and has issued Series D bonds on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since June 2018, where it is a reporting entity; its equity remains state-owned.

In September 2025, INGL expanded into gas distribution for the first time, receiving a Ministry of Energy distribution license for the Jerusalem region. In October 2025 it signed a 15-year transmission agreement with Energean Israel for the planned Nitzana pipeline (up to 1 BCM annually to Egypt), and in November 2025 the Energy Minister extended INGL's transmission license by 15 years. The company is also developing a master plan for hydrogen transmission infrastructure with the Ministry of Energy and operates a startup innovation program that produced its first CVC investment in Prisma Photonics.
