Talk:Zohr Field

Incorrect field size comparisons
It is sometimes asserted that the Zhor gas field is “twice the size” of the nearby Leviathan gas field. This assertion is incorrect because the measures being used for comparison are not the same. This confusion arises due to the fact that resources for the Zohr field tend to be reported in terms of “gas in place”, while the gas resources for the nearby Leviathan field are usually expressed in terms of “recoverable resources” (which is the more common practice in the oil & gas industry). In reality, both fields are of approximately the same size with about 30 TCF of total gas in place, of which about 22 TCF is recoverable.
