The reserve flow project of Katza is a unique system that allows the bi-directional flow of crude oil from the Med to the Red Sea.

In the oil and gas sector, revenues from the sales of crude oil and natural gas are recorded when the product is delivered at a fixed or determinable price, title has transferred and collectibility is reasonably assured.

These are very similar to the production sharing contracts, with the exception of contractor payment. With these contracts, the contractor usually receives a defined share of revenue rather than a share of the production. As in the production-sharing contract, the contractor provides the capital and technical expertise required for exploration and development. If exploration is successful, the contractor can recover those costs from the sale revenues
