Search Engine: This glossary is the fruit of labor, compilation, experience and research carried out solely by Gina Cohen and done at her own expense. It has been donated by her on this website for everyone to use freely for their own translation and comprehension needs. However, the author wishes to stress that neither she nor the websites that have put a link to this glossary take any responsibility for the topicality, correctness, completeness, accuracy, quality or usefulness of any of the information provided either in English or in Hebrew. Indeed, she is the first to admit, that although she has included in this glossary about 7,000 terms and concepts and has worked on it for thousands of hours, it is a work in process which needs constant updating, amendments, improvements, additions, adjustments and corrections in order to upgrade it to the next level . This is the reason that she has chosen the internet as the medium to share this piece of work with all. Her objective was indeed to provide an initial tool to be adopted by the Israeli market-place, with the hope that all those interested in the field of energy will take on the challenge from here onwards to establish a definite database

Lake Charles LNG Terminal
The terminal, completed in July 1981, is the United States' most modern LNG importation terminal. Three LNG storage tanks specially designed to store LNG at cryogenic temperatures for sustained periods with a combined capacity of approximately 2.7 million barrels (425,000 cubic meters) of LNG, or approximately 9.0 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas. When operating at peak capacity, the terminal can regasify LNG and send out natural gas at a maximum rate of 2.1 bcf per day and has a firm sustained capability of 13.7 million metric tons per annum. US LNG imports totaled 350 Bcf in 2008, according to the Energy Information Agency, which predicted that they would increase to 420 Bcf in 2009

Land rights (oil and gas)
Mineral rights in an oil and gas lease differ from surface rights. A landowner may own the surface rights but not the mineral rights on the land as indeed in many cases, the mineral rights are separated from the surface rights. Only the mineral rights owner has the right to extract the oil and gas from the land
זכויות קרקע בענף נפט וגז
יש להבדיל בין זכויות נפט וגז לבין זכויות הקרקע. ייתכן מצב שבו לבעל הקרקע אין זכויות נפט וגז על הקרקע שבבעלותו, כיוון שבמקרים רבים ישנה הפרדה בין זכויות נפט / גז לבין זכויות הקרקע. רק בעל זכות נפט/גז הינו רשאי מתוקף החוק להפיק נפט/גז מן הקרקע.

Landfill dump, electricity from landfill
Concept of setting up a power station to run on the methane gas extracted from a landfill. Methane gas is produced over a process of years from a landfill and enables to profit from available energy whilst preserving the environment

Landfill gas; Land fill gas [L.F.G.; LFG]
Gas that is generated by decomposition of organic material at landfill disposal sites. The average composition of landfill gas is approximately 50 percent methane and 50 percent carbon dioxide and water vapor by volume. The methane percentage, however, can vary from 40 to 60 percent, depending on several factors including waste composition (e.g. carbohydrate and cellulose content). The methane in landfill gas may be vented, flared, combusted to generate electricity or useful thermal energy on-site, or injected into a pipeline for combustion off-site. electricity can be produced from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) using either a Refuse-Derived-Fuel (RDF) technology or Landfill Gas (LFG) technology

Lapidoth-Heletz Limited Partnership; Lapidoth
Lapidoth Israel Oil Prospectors Corp. Ltd. is the forerunner of onshore oil prospectors in Israel. The company was incorporated in 1959 and privatized several years ago. Currently, its securities are being traded in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Lapidoth has specialized in the design and operations of onshore oil or gas drilling and production activities for more than five decades. These activities include the provision of all auxiliary services related to exploration and production. Since its inception the company has drilled over four hundred onshore wells of various depths in Israel and worldwide. It has also discovered and developed the Israeli Heletz Oil Field (from which more than 17 million oil barrels were produced to date). Over the years, Lapidoth has expanded its scope of activities to include drilling of water wells, monitoring production, research drilling and soil sampling. Furthermore, the company is currently the controlling holder of Lapidoth-Heletz Limited Partnership. This Limited Partnership was incorporated in 2004 for the purpose of executing oil and gas explorations in Israel and is also listed in the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Lapidoth considers itself a “one stop shop” that provides all major services that may be required by operators, including drilling, logging, cementing, production, petrophysics, reservoir engineering, logistics, research drilling and soil sampling. All these services are available as a “package deal” or on a “stand alone” basis.

In additions to its “traditional” operations, Lapidoth uses its positive cash flow to execute various financial transactions.

Large range and very large crude carriers [LR, VLCC]
Carriers that are employed in international crude oil trade. The size of tanker that can be used in any trade (commercial voyage between a port of origin and destination) is dependent on the tanker's length and loaded depth and the size of the loading and unloading ports. The larger ships are used because they reduce the cost to transport a barrel of crude oil. A VLCC is a tanker of 150,000 to 300,000 dwt. VLCC of 250 KT is the largest capacity that can be accommodated in Israeli ports
