Ness Energy: American and
Israeli Personnel Safe, Field Operations Temporarily Suspended
WILLOW PARK, TEXAS,
U.S.A./NETANYA, ISRAEL,
July 17, 2006/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ness Energy International,
Inc. announced today that, due to the renewed fighting in the
region, it is suspending its Israeli field operations for the
safety and security of its personnel in Israel.
Ness continues to be active
with its negotiations regarding the sale of oil & gas from the
Be’eri # 3 and Gurim # 4 wells. However, due to the proximity of
the Be’eri # 3 well to the Gaza Strip, and the route generally
taken from Tel Aviv to Arad to get to the Gurim # 4 well, which
passes within a few miles of the Gaza Strip, we have suspended
normal field operations.
Ness Energy President Sha
Stephens commented “Our people in Israel are all currently safe
and we want to keep them that way. There will be no activity at
the well sites while the fighting in Gaza continues. However, we
are pressing forward, administratively, toward reaching an
agreement regarding the purchase of our produced oil and gas.
When the fighting subsides, and we can feel comfortable that our
people are safe, we will return to the field.”
