Delek Group, a partner in the Leviathan project, said in a securities filing in Israel on Wednesday that the consortium in charge of the development authorised Noble, the operator, to advance a $120 million agreement for the FEED services.

"The selection by Noble Energy and partners to engage Wood Group Mustang to perform the front-end engineering and design and detailed engineering work for the Leviathan production platform builds on recent momentum to advance the project towards a final investment decision and achieve our mutual goal with the Israeli government to deliver natural gas from Leviathan as quickly as possible," a Noble spokeswoman told Upstream.
