Last week, Noble Energy announced that drilling of the Leviathan 3 well was complete. On Monday, the US company issued an updated estimate of the reserves in the Leviathan field, of 17 TCF (trillion cubic feet), which compares with a previous estimate of 16 TCF.
Market expectations were for reserves of 19-20 TCF, so the current figures can be considered a disappointment. However, there may be further updates from Noble Energy, and the range Noble provided is 14-20 TCF.

The Leviathan 3 drilling began in June, a kilometer away from the abandoned Leviathan 2 well. It is aimed at establishing more accurately the size of the Leviathan reserve discovered in late 2010.
