EAPC's Ashkelon site was chosen as the reception facility for the natural gas purchased by Israel from Egypt. EAPC operates and maintains the natural gas receiving station at Ashkelon.
The natural gas received is then distributed into the Israel Natural Gas Lines Company's system. The entry junction of natural gas in Ashkelon, along with the discovery of significant gas reservoirs opposite the shores of Israel, led the company to explore further possibilities for using natural gas for other industrial purposes.
