Israel’s deepest well targets 1.5 billion barrels of oil
Posted on July 18, 2013 at 6:56 am by Bloomberg fuelfix.com

The deepest oil well drilled in Israel’s 65-year history may be the most important.

Houston’s Noble Energy Inc. (NBL) will probe 6,500 meters (4 miles) below the Mediterranean seabed later this year, targeting as much as 1.5 billion barrels of crude, equal to about 15 years of Israeli demand.
