Holding company Ampal-American Israel Corporation, which holds a 12.5 per cent in East Mediterranean Gas (EMG), said the Egyptian National Gas Company had informed EMG that testing of the system would start today, with the target date for commercial gas delivery expected no later than Friday.
Earlier this month a metering station in a gas pipeline from Egypt to Jordan caught fire resulting in the disruption of flows between Egypt and Israel.
At the time Egyptian state television reported that saboteurs attacked a Gasco pipeline, disrupting flows to Israel and Jordan.
The pipeline serviced EMG but the company said the metering station was located about 30km from its site and its own pipeline had not been damaged.
