A statement said Tamar was... to provide it with up to 2.5 billion cubic metres (bcm) over a seven-year span... transported to Egypt through the same East Mediterranean Gas pipeline used by Cairo to export gas to Israel and Jordan before it was attacked and crippled the saboteurs.
In perspective, a recent year's consumption of natural gas by US consumers (all types) works out to 737,296,000,000 cubic meters (if my conversion from e11 is correct, and it appears to be).
