Descriptiontext

Ratio Energies (1992) Limited Partnership (TASE: RATI-L) is a publicly traded Israeli energy partnership founded in 1992 that specializes in the exploration, development, and production of natural gas and oil in the Eastern Mediterranean. The company holds a 15% working interest in the Leviathan gas field — the largest natural gas discovery in the Eastern Mediterranean, with approximately 21.8 TCF of reserves located 130 km offshore Israel — alongside operator Chevron (~39.66%) and NewMed Energy (~45.34%). Commercial production from Leviathan commenced in December 2019 following a $3.8 billion development investment.

The core business is the extraction and sale of natural gas and condensate from the Leviathan reservoir, produced through five subsea wells tied to an offshore processing platform and transmitted via subsea pipelines. Production capacity has been progressively scaled from 12 BCM/y to ~14 BCM/y via a third transmission pipeline, with a $2.36 billion Stage 1 expansion approved in January 2026 targeting 21 BCM/y by H2 2029. Ratio sells its share of gas under long-term contracts to Israeli power stations and industrial facilities via the national grid, to the Government of Jordan via the Arab Gas Pipeline (since January 2020), and to the Government of Egypt under a 15-year, approximately $35 billion supply agreement; condensate is sold exclusively to the Ashdod oil refinery (since 2024). The company also holds a 20% minority stake in Ratio Petroleum Energy Partnership for international exploration outside Israel and participates in the ENI/Dana Petroleum consortium awarded new exploration licenses in Israel's 4th Offshore Bid Round (2023).

Revenue is generated through volume-based, contract-priced natural gas and condensate sales to a small set of enterprise and government offtakers. GTM is enterprise field sales via long-term supply agreements; the company markets itself primarily through TASE investor relations disclosures, quarterly presentations, and annual ESG reports. The partnership structure is funded by equity capital and over NIS 1.9 billion in public bond issuances through wholly-owned Ratio Energies (Finance) Ltd.

Business StandardIsrael reopens largest gas field after West Asia war shut it for a monthIsrael resumed production at its largest gas field Leviathan on Friday after a 33-day shutdown triggered by the Iran war, providing relief to markets that struggled with supply disruptions. The field, operated by Chevron Corp. and crucial for domestic Israeli needs as well as Egyptian exports, had contributed to a global market crunch alongside damaged ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on Qatar's liquefied natural gas plant. Newmed Energy, which holds a 45% stake in Leviathan alongside Chevron and Ratio Energies, said the stoppage is not expected to materially impact 2026 cash flows and that partners will examine compensation claims from the state.Financial PostIsrael Resumes Biggest Gas Field After War Shut It for a MonthIsrael's Leviathan gas field, the country's largest, resumed production on March 4 after a 33-day shutdown caused by the Iran war, providing relief to global energy markets struggling with supply disruptions. The field is operated by Chevron Corp. and supplies both Israeli domestic needs and exports to Egypt via pipeline, which had implemented energy-rationing measures during the outage. The project's partners, including Newmed Energy (45% stake), Chevron (nearly 40%), and Ratio Energies, indicated they may seek compensation from the Israeli state for the production halt, while another shut field called Karish operated by Energean Plc remains offline.Offshore EnergyMediterranean gas field back online after shutdown due to regional safety woesChevron Mediterranean Limited and its partners NewMed Energy and Ratio Energies have resumed gas production from the Leviathan offshore gas field in Israel following a 33-day suspension caused by regional security concerns tied to the U.S. and Israel's military campaign against Iran. The partnership's preliminary assessment indicates the production suspension is not expected to have a material impact on expected cash flows for 2026, and the companies intend to explore the possibility of receiving compensation from the State of Israel for the shutdown. Chevron separately announced a final investment decision in January 2026 to expand the Leviathan platform's production capacity through drilling three additional offshore wells and adding subsea infrastructure.OilPrice.comEastern Mediterranean Gas Balance Shifts as Israel Ramps Up ProductionIsrael is ramping up natural gas production through expansions at the Chevron-operated Leviathan and Tamar offshore fields, with a combined 600 million cfd expected to come online and push total output above 3 bcf/d for the first time in 2026. Chevron and its partners NewMed Energy and Ratio Energies confirmed a $2.36 billion FID in January 2026 to expand Leviathan's capacity from 12 bcm to roughly 21 bcm annually. A landmark 15-year, $35 billion supply deal with Egypt, the largest in Israel's history, is channeling incremental volumes to fill Egypt's domestic energy shortages via new pipeline infrastructure including upgrades to the Ashdod-Ashkelon pipeline and the new Nitzana pipeline and Ramat Hovav-to-Egypt border pipeline (both expected by 2028).PR NewswireRegional demand for Natural Gas resulted in a record quarter for Ratio with revenues of $97 millionRatio Energies Partnership reported a record Q2 2022 with revenues of $97 million, driven by increased regional natural gas sales and higher average prices. The company announced its first interim dividend of $25 million and repaid $159 million in bond obligations while holding cash balances of $239 million.PR NewswireHigh Demand in export markets generated another strong quarter for Ratio with revenues of $82 millionRatio Energies reported strong first quarter 2022 results with revenues of $82 million and net profit of $28 million, representing increases of 14% and 12% respectively compared to the same quarter last year. The company sold 2.7 BCM of natural gas from the Leviathan reservoir, of which 1.8 BCM were exported to Egypt and Jordan, benefiting from a new transmission route to Egypt via Jordan that enabled record export demand and higher average selling prices of $5.59 per MMBtu, up 14% year-over-year. The company also commenced drilling of the Leviathan-8 well and is working on selecting alternatives for Stage 1B development to increase production capacity for potential European gas supply.PR NewswireRatio Energies report a record year in natural gas sales from Leviathan with the highest net profit in its history -77 million dollarsRatio Energies Limited Partnership reported record 2021 results from its 15% stake in the Leviathan natural gas reservoir, with revenues of $293 million (up 50% year-over-year) and a net profit of $77 million. The partnership sold a record 10.7 BCM of natural gas in 2021, with 6.2 BCM going to export markets in Egypt and Jordan, representing a 48% increase in exports compared to 2020. The company reduced net debt by $95 million, maintains $201 million in cash reserves, and announced plans to commence profit distributions to unit holders based on 2022 results.ChemAnalystIsrael Suspends Leviathan Gas Field Operations Amid Iran TensionsIsrael has directed Chevron to temporarily suspend all production at the Leviathan offshore natural gas field as a precautionary measure amid escalating tensions with Iran. The Leviathan field, the largest natural gas find in the Mediterranean with estimated 22.9 tcf of recoverable gas, involves three partners: Chevron Mediterranean (39.66% operating interest), NewMed Energy (45.34%), and Ratio Energies (15%), all of whom must halt operations pending government instructions. The suspension comes amid a previously announced $2.4 billion expansion plan to boost production to 21 bcm annually, highlighting the vulnerability of critical energy infrastructure in geopolitically sensitive regions.
