JERUSALEM, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- A huge natural gas field discovered recently offshore Egypt has triggered jitters in Israel, with energy stocks plummeting and politicians pointing fingers at each other over the delayed development of Israel's own gas fields.

The discovery of a "supergiant" gas field in Egypt, which certainly will bring profound changes to a country much in need of energy Herre Nike Air VaporMax Sort Guld Danmark , is casting shadows over Israel's ambitions to become a major gas supplier in the region.

Italian energy group Eni S.p.A. said the field at the Zohr site in the deep waters of Egypt is the "largest ever" gas discovery in the Middle East, with "a potential of 30 trillion cubic feet of lean gas in place covering an area of about 100 square kilometers."

If validated in further tests, Zohr could dwarf Israel's offshore discoveries in recent years -- the Leviathan gas field with an estimated 22 trillion cubic feet (tcf) and the 10-tcf Tamar field -- and put Egypt in a position that surpasses Israel as a potential major gas exporter to the region.

Markets immediately reacted to the news. Shares of Texas-based Noble Energy, the main partner in the consortium which develops the Israeli gas fields, fell more than eight percent in the New York Stock Exchange over the past week, while more than six billion shekels (1.53 billion U.S. dollars) were wiped off the value of Israel's leading gas companies Herre Air Max 97 Sølv Grå Danmark , Delek Group, Avner Oil and Ratio.

Israel has signed memorandums of understanding to export gas to the Middle East and hoped to sell it to even more distant countries through European companies that operate in Egypt. But the conclusion of these contracts was stalled by bureaucracy and regulatory impediments.

Now investors are worried that these early contracts will not become binding agreements, as Egypt found its own gas bonanza.

Eni said that the discovery, after full development, will be large enough to satisfy Egypt's natural gas demand "for decades," complicating Israel's ambitious bid to become a major gas supplier in the region.

"It's a bit early to assess the quality of the data and their significance Herre Air Max 97 Hvid Danmark , but if they are accurate, the discovery off the coast of Egypt is bad news for the Israeli economy and the companies holding the (gas) assets in particular," said Eldad Tamir, founder and CEO of Israel investment house Tamir Fishman.
