Under the slogan "Open Israeli Waters for Exploration", Israel's energy ministry will launch an exploration licensing round on November 15 -- the first ever competitive offshore round in Israel's history. But it won't go through without difficulties.
According to the timetable published on a website dedicated to the licensing round, another roadshow will take place in Houston, Texas on November 30 -- the third, following ones in London and Singapore last month -- then an online Q&A process will conclude on January 31 2017, and then the closing date for bids is set for March 28 2017. Documents and data packages will be available for purchase starting mid-November 2016.
