Ladies and Gentlemen:

In accordance with your request, we have estimated the proved, probable, and possible reserves and future revenue, as of December 31, 2023, to the NewMed Energy Limited Partnership (NewMed) interest in certain gas properties located in Leviathan Field, Leases I/14 and I/15, offshore Israel. Also as requested, we have estimated the contingent resources and cash flow, as of December 31, 2023, to the NewMed interest in these properties. It is our understanding that NewMed owns a direct working interest in these properties. We completed our evaluation on or about the date of this letter. For the reserves and the Phase I - First Stage contingent resources, this report has been prepared using price and cost parameters specified by NewMed, as discussed in subsequent paragraphs of this letter. Monetary values shown in this report are expressed in United States dollars ($) or millions of United States dollars (MM$). For reference, the March 18, 2024, exchange rate was 3.65 New Israeli Shekels per United States dollar.

The estimates in this report have been prepared in accordance with the definitions and guidelines set forth in the 2018 Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS) approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and in accordance with internationally recognized standards, as stipulated by the Israel Securities Authority (ISA). As presented in the 2018 PRMS, petroleum accumulations can be classified, in decreasing order of likelihood of commerciality, as reserves, contingent resources, or prospective resources. Different classifications of petroleum accumulations have varying degrees of technical and commercial risk that are difficult to quantify; thus reserves, contingent resources, and prospective resources should not be aggregated without extensive consideration of these factors. Definitions are presented immediately following this letter. This report has been prepared for NewMed's use in filing with the ISA; in our opinion the assumptions, data, methods, and procedures used in the preparation of this report are appropriate for such purpose.

RESERVES ________________________________________________________________________

Reserves are those quantities of petroleum anticipated to be commercially recoverable from known accumulations by application of development projects from a given date forward under defined conditions. Reserves must be discovered, recoverable, commercial, and remaining as of the evaluation date based on the planned development projects to be applied. Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of engineering and geoscience data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be commercially recoverable; probable and possible reserves are those additional reserves which are sequentially less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. There is a 10 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves.

We estimate the gross (100 percent) reserves and the NewMed working interest reserves for these properties, as of December 31, 2023, to be:

Gas volumes are expressed in billions of cubic feet (BCF) at standard temperature and pressure bases. Condensate volumes are expressed in millions of barrels (MMBBL); a barrel is equivalent to 42 United States gallons.

Reserves categorization conveys the relative degree of certainty; reserves subcategorization is based on development and production status. The 1P reserves are inclusive of proved developed producing and proved undeveloped reserves. Our study indicates that as of December 31, 2023, there are no proved developed non- producing reserves for these properties. The project maturity subclass for these reserves is on production. The estimates of reserves and future revenue included herein have not been adjusted for risk.

Working interest revenue for the reserves shown in this report is NewMed's share of the gross (100 percent) revenue from the properties prior to any deductions. Future net revenue is after deductions for NewMed's share of royalties, capital costs, abandonment costs, operating expenses, and NewMed's estimates of its oil and gas profits levy and corporate income taxes. The future net revenue has been discounted at annual rates of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 percent to determine its present worth, which is shown to indicate the effect of time on the value of money. Future net revenue presented in this report, whether discounted or undiscounted, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties. Tables I through V present revenue, costs, and taxes by reserves category. Table VI presents NewMed's historical production and operating expense data.

We have made no investigation of potential volume and value imbalances resulting from overdelivery or underdelivery to the NewMed interest. Therefore, our estimates of reserves and future revenue do not include adjustments for the settlement of any such imbalances; our projections are based on NewMed receiving its net revenue interest share of estimated future gross production.

CONTINGENT RESOURCES __________________________________________________________

Contingent resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations by the application of development project(s) not currently considered to be commercial owing to one or more contingencies. The contingent resources shown in this report are contingent upon approval of additional drilling, project approval for additional future developments, demonstration of a market for future gas sales, and commitment to develop the resources. For the purposes of this report, the contingent resources have been divided into two development phases: Phase I - First Stage and Future Development. The Phase I - First Stage contingent resources can be recovered through drilling during this development phase without significant upgrades to the production system. The Future Development contingent resources may require upgrades to the production system and additional drilling beyond the Phase I - First Stage. If the contingencies are successfully addressed, some portion of the contingent resources estimated in this report may be reclassified as reserves; our estimates have not been risked to account for the possibility that the contingencies are not successfully addressed. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources. The project maturity subclass for these contingent resources is development pending.

We estimate the gross (100 percent) contingent resources by development phase for these properties, as of December 31, 2023, to be:

The contingent resources shown in this report have been estimated using deterministic methods. Once all contingencies have been successfully addressed, the approximate probability that the quantities of contingent resources actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimated amounts is generally inferred to be 90 percent for the low estimate, 50 percent for the best estimate, and 10 percent for the high estimate. The estimates of contingent resources included herein have not been adjusted for development risk.

Working interest contingent revenue shown in this report is NewMed's share of the gross (100 percent) revenue from the properties prior to any deductions. Net contingent cash flow is after deductions for NewMed's share of royalties, capital costs, abandonment costs, operating expenses, and NewMed's estimates of its oil and gas profits levy and corporate income taxes. The net contingent cash flow has been discounted at annual rates of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 percent to indicate the effect of time on the value of money; the contingent cash flow, whether discounted or undiscounted, should not be construed as being the fair market value of the properties. Tables VII through IX present cash flow, costs, and taxes by resources category for the Phase I - First Stage contingent resources. As requested, we have included an appendix to this report that presents tables of cash flow, costs, and taxes resulting from aggregating our estimates of reserves and the Phase I - First Stage contingent resources.

ECONOMIC PARAMETERS ___________________________________________________________

As requested, this report has been prepared using gas and condensate price parameters specified by NewMed. Gas prices are based on NewMed's estimates of approved and future sales contracts. These contract prices are derived mainly from various formulae that include indexation to the Power Generation Tariffs published by The Electricity Authority or to an average of long-term forecasts for Brent Crude prices provided by various institutions. Condensate prices are based on Brent Crude prices and are adjusted for quality and market differentials. The forecasted Brent Crude prices are escalated on January 1 of each year through December 31, 2033, and then held constant thereafter; the escalation rates have been specified by NewMed.

Operating costs used in this report are based on operating expense records of NewMed. Operating costs include the overhead expenses allowed under joint operating agreements, direct project-level costs, insurance costs, workover costs, and transportation costs. Since all properties are nonoperated, headquarters general and administrative overhead expenses of NewMed are not included. Based on our understanding of future development plans, a review of the records provided to us, and our knowledge of similar properties, we regard these estimated operating costs to be reasonable. Operating costs have been divided into field-level costs and per-unit-of- production costs and, as requested, are not escalated for inflation.

Capital costs used in this report were provided by NewMed and are based on authorizations for expenditure and actual costs from recent activity. Capital costs are included as required for gas and condensate export facility upgrades, a third gathering line, regional midstream infrastructure, new development wells and flowlines, and production equipment. Based on our understanding of future development plans, a review of the records provided

March 19, 2024

Page 5 of 6

to us, and our knowledge of similar properties, we regard these estimated capital costs to be reasonable. Abandonment costs used in this report are NewMed's estimates of the costs to abandon the wells, platform, and production facilities, net of any salvage value. As requested, capital costs and abandonment costs are not escalated for inflation.

GENERAL INFORMATION ____________________________________________________________

This report does not include any value that could be attributed to interests in undeveloped acreage beyond those tracts for which undeveloped reserves and contingent resources have been estimated. For the purposes of this report, we did not perform any field inspection of the properties, nor did we examine the mechanical operation or condition of the wells and facilities. We have not investigated possible environmental liability related to the properties; however, we are not currently aware of any possible environmental liability that would have any material effect on the reserves or resources quantities estimated in this report or the commerciality of such estimates. Therefore, our estimates do not include any costs due to such possible liability.

The reserves and contingent resources shown in this report are estimates only and should not be construed as exact quantities. Estimates may increase or decrease as a result of market conditions, future operations, changes in regulations, or actual reservoir performance. In addition to the primary economic assumptions discussed herein, our estimates are based on certain assumptions including, but not limited to, that the properties will be developed consistent with current development plans as provided to us by NewMed, that the properties will be operated in a prudent manner, that no governmental regulations or controls will be put in place that would impact the ability of the interest owner to recover the volumes, and that our projections of future production will prove consistent with actual performance. If these volumes are recovered, the revenues therefrom and the costs related thereto could be more or less than the estimated amounts. Because of governmental policies and uncertainties of supply and demand, the sales rates, prices received, and costs incurred may vary from assumptions made while preparing this report. It should be noted that the actual production profile for each category may be lower or higher than the production profile used to calculate the estimates of future net revenue used in this report, and no sensitivity analysis was performed with respect to the production profile of the wells.

For the purposes of this report, we used technical and economic data including, but not limited to, well logs, geologic maps, seismic data, core data, well test data, production data, historical price and cost information, and property ownership interests. We were provided with all the necessary data to prepare the estimates for these properties, and we were not limited from access to any material we believe may be relevant. The reserves and contingent resources in this report have been estimated using deterministic methods; these estimates have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles set forth in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information promulgated by the SPE (SPE Standards). We used standard engineering and geoscience methods, or a combination of methods, including performance analysis, volumetric analysis, analogy, and reservoir modeling, that we considered to be appropriate and necessary to classify, categorize, and estimate volumes in accordance with the 2018 PRMS definitions and guidelines. The contingent resources and a portion of the reserves shown in this report are for undeveloped locations; such volumes are based on estimates of reservoir volumes and recovery efficiencies along with analogy to properties with similar geologic and reservoir characteristics. Certain parameters used in our volumetric analysis are summarized in Table X. As in all aspects of oil and gas evaluation, there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of engineering and geoscience data; therefore, our conclusions necessarily represent only informed professional judgment.

Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. (NSAI) was engaged on December 15, 2023, by Mr. Yossi Abu, Chief Executive Officer of NewMed, to perform this assessment. The data used in our estimates were obtained from NewMed; Chevron Mediterranean Limited, the operator of the properties; public data sources; and the nonconfidential files of NSAI and were accepted as accurate. Supporting work data are on file in our office. We

have not examined the contractual rights to the properties or independently confirmed the actual degree or type of interest owned. We are independent petroleum engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and petrophysicists; we do not own an interest in these properties nor are we employed on a contingent basis. Furthermore, no limitations or restrictions were placed upon NSAI by officials of NewMed.

PETROLEUM RESERVES AND RESOURCES CLASSIFICATION AND DEFINITIONS

Excerpted from the 2018 Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS), version 1.03

Approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Board of Directors

This document contains information excerpted from definitions and guidelines prepared by the Oil and Gas Reserves Committee of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and reviewed and jointly sponsored by the SPE, World Petroleum Council, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers, Society of Exploration Geophysicists, Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts, and European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers.

Preamble

Petroleum resources are the quantities of hydrocarbons naturally occurring on or within the Earth's crust. Resources assessments estimate quantities in known and yet-to-be-discovered accumulations. Resources evaluations are focused on those quantities that can potentially be recovered and marketed by commercial projects. A petroleum resources management system provides a consistent approach to estimating petroleum quantities, evaluating projects, and presenting results within a comprehensive classification framework.

This updated PRMS provides fundamental principles for the evaluation and classification of petroleum reserves and resources. If there is any conflict with prior SPE and PRMS guidance, approved training, or the Application Guidelines, the current PRMS shall prevail. It is understood that these definitions and guidelines allow flexibility for entities, governments, and regulatory agencies to tailor application for their particular needs; however, any modifications to the guidance contained herein must be clearly identified. The terms "shall" or "must" indicate that a provision herein is mandatory for PRMS compliance, while "should" indicates a recommended practice and "may" indicates that a course of action is permissible. The definitions and guidelines contained in this document must not be construed as modifying the interpretation or application of any existing regulatory reporting requirements.

1.0 Basic Principles and Definitions

  1. A classification system of petroleum resources is a fundamental element that provides a common language for communicating both the confidence of a project's resources maturation status and the range of potential outcomes to the various entities. The PRMS provides transparency by requiring the assessment of various criteria that allow for the classification and categorization of a project's resources. The evaluation elements consider the risk of geologic discovery and the technical uncertainties together with a determination of the chance of achieving the commercial maturation status of a petroleum project.
  2. The technical estimation of petroleum resources quantities involves the assessment of quantities and values that have an inherent degree of uncertainty. These quantities are associated with exploration, appraisal, and development projects at various stages of design and implementation. The commercial aspects considered will relate the project's maturity status (e.g., technical, economical, regulatory, and legal) to the chance of project implementation.
  3. The use of a consistent classification system enhances comparisons between projects, groups of projects, and total company portfolios. The application of PRMS must consider both technical and commercial factors that impact the project's feasibility, its productive life, and its related cash flows.

1.1 Petroleum Resources Classification Framework

  1. Petroleum is defined as a naturally occurring mixture consisting of hydrocarbons in the gaseous, liquid, or solid state. Petroleum may also contain non-hydrocarbons, common examples of which are carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur. In rare cases, non-hydrocarbon content can be greater than 50%.
  2. The term resources as used herein is intended to encompass all quantities of petroleum naturally occurring within the Earth's crust, both discovered and undiscovered (whether recoverable or unrecoverable), plus those quantities already produced. Further, it includes all types of petroleum whether currently considered as conventional or unconventional resources.
  3. Figure 1.1 graphically represents the PRMS resources classification system. The system classifies resources into discovered and undiscovered and defines the recoverable resources classes: Production, Reserves, Contingent Resources, and Prospective Resources, as well as Unrecoverable Resources.
  4. The horizontal axis reflects the range of uncertainty of estimated quantities potentially recoverable from an accumulation by a project, while the vertical axis represents the chance of commerciality, Pc, which is the chance that a project will be committed for development and reach commercial producing status.

Definitions - Page 1 of 10

PETROLEUM RESERVES AND RESOURCES CLASSIFICATION AND DEFINITIONS

Excerpted from the 2018 Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS), version 1.03

Approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Board of Directors

1.1.0.5 The following definitions apply to the major subdivisions within the resources classification:

  1. Total Petroleum Initially-In-Place (PIIP) is all quantities of petroleum that are estimated to exist originally in naturally occurring accumulations, discovered and undiscovered, before production.
  2. Discovered PIIP is the quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations before production.
  3. Production is the cumulative quantities of petroleum that have been recovered at a given date. While all recoverable resources are estimated, and production is measured in terms of the sales product specifications, raw production (sales plus non-sales) quantities are also measured and required to support engineering analyses based on reservoir voidage (see Section 3.2, Production Measurement).

1.1.0.6 Multiple development projects may be applied to each known or unknown accumulation, and each project will be forecast to recover an estimated portion of the initially-in-place quantities. The projects shall be subdivided into commercial, sub-commercial, and undiscovered, with the estimated recoverable quantities being classified as Reserves, Contingent Resources, or Prospective Resources respectively, as defined below.

  1. 1. Reserves are those quantities of petroleum anticipated to be commercially recoverable by application of development projects to known accumulations from a given date forward under defined conditions. Reserves must satisfy four criteria: discovered, recoverable, commercial, and remaining (as of the evaluation's effective date) based on the development project(s) applied.
    1. Reserves are recommended as sales quantities as metered at the reference point. Where the entity also recognizes quantities consumed in operations (CiO) (see Section 3.2.2), as Reserves these quantities must be recorded separately. Non- hydrocarbon quantities are recognized as Reserves only when sold together with hydrocarbons or CiO associated with petroleum production. If the non-hydrocarbon is separated before sales, it is excluded from Reserves.
    2. Reserves are further categorized in accordance with the range of uncertainty and should be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by development and production status.
  2. Contingent Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations, by the application of development project(s) not currently considered to be commercial owing to one or more contingencies. Contingent Resources have an associated chance of development. Contingent Resources may include, for example, projects for which there are currently no viable markets, or where commercial recovery is dependent on technology under development, or where evaluation of the accumulation is insufficient to clearly assess commerciality. Contingent Resources are further categorized in accordance with the range of uncertainty associated with the estimates and should be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or economic status.
  3. Undiscovered PIIP is that quantity of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be contained within accumulations yet to be discovered.
  4. Prospective Resources are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective Resources have both an associated chance of geologic discovery and a chance of development. Prospective Resources are further categorized in accordance with the range of uncertainty associated with recoverable estimates, assuming discovery and development, and may be sub- classified based on project maturity.
  5. Unrecoverable Resources are that portion of either discovered or undiscovered PIIP evaluated, as of a given date, to be unrecoverable by the currently defined project(s). A portion of these quantities may become recoverable in the future as commercial circumstances change, technology is developed, or additional data are acquired. The remaining portion may never be recovered because of physical/chemical constraints represented by subsurface interaction of fluids and reservoir rocks.
  1. The sum of Reserves, Contingent Resources, and Prospective Resources may be referred to as "remaining recoverable resources." Importantly, these quantities should not be aggregated without due consideration of the technical and commercial risk involved with their classification. When such terms are used, each classification component of the summation must be provided.
  2. Other terms used in resource assessments include the following:
  1. Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) is not a resources category or class, but a term that can be applied to an accumulation or group of accumulations (discovered or undiscovered) to define those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable plus those quantities already produced from the accumulation or group of accumulations. For clarity, EUR must reference the associated technical and commercial conditions for the resources; for example, proved EUR is Proved Reserves plus prior production.
  2. Technically Recoverable Resources (TRR) are those quantities of petroleum producible using currently available technology and industry practices, regardless of commercial considerations. TRR may be used for specific Projects or for groups of Projects, or, can be an undifferentiated estimate within an area (often basin-wide) of recovery potential.

1.2 Project-Based Resources Evaluations

  1. The resources evaluation process consists of identifying a recovery project or projects associated with one or more petroleum accumulations, estimating the quantities of PIIP, estimating that portion of those in-place quantities that can be recovered by each project, and classifying the project(s) based on maturity status or chance of commerciality.
  2. The concept of a project-based classification system is further clarified by examining the elements contributing to an evaluation of net recoverable resources (see Figure 1.2).

Net

Recoverable

Resources

Entitlement

Figure 1.2-Resources evaluation

  1. The reservoir (contains the petroleum accumulation): Key attributes include the types and quantities of PIIP and the fluid and rock properties that affect petroleum recovery.
  2. The project: A project may constitute the development of a well, a single reservoir, or a small field; an incremental development in a producing field; or the integrated development of a field or several fields together with the associated processing facilities (e.g., compression). Within a project, a specific reservoir's development generates a unique production and cash-flow schedule at each level of certainty. The integration of these schedules taken to the project's earliest truncation caused by technical, economic, or the contractual limit defines the estimated recoverable resources and associated future net cash flow projections for each project. The ratio of EUR to total PIIP quantities defines the project's recovery efficiency. Each project should have an associated recoverable resources range (low, best, and high estimate).
  3. The property (lease or license area): Each property may have unique associated contractual rights and obligations, including the fiscal terms. This information allows definition of each participating entity's share of produced quantities (entitlement) and share of investments, expenses, and revenues for each recovery project and the reservoir to which it is applied. One property may encompass many reservoirs, or one reservoir may span several different properties. A property may contain both discovered and undiscovered accumulations that may be spatially unrelated to a potential single field designation.
  4. An entity's net recoverable resources are the entitlement share of future production legally accruing under the terms of the development and production contract or license.
  5. In the context of this relationship, the project is the primary element considered in the resources classification, and the net recoverable resources are the quantities derived from each project. A project represents a defined activity or set of activities to develop the petroleum accumulation(s) and the decisions taken to mature the resources to reserves. In general, it is recommended that an individual project has assigned to it a specific maturity level sub-class (See Section 2.1.3.5, Project Maturity Sub-Classes) at which a decision is made whether or not to proceed (i.e., spend more money) and there should be an associated range of estimated recoverable quantities for the project (See Section 2.2.1, Range of Uncertainty). For completeness, a developed field is also considered to be a project.
  6. An accumulation or potential accumulation of petroleum is often subject to several separate and distinct projects that are at different stages of exploration or development. Thus, an accumulation may have recoverable quantities in several resources classes simultaneously.
  1. Not all technically feasible development projects will be commercial. The commercial viability of a development project within a field's development plan is dependent on a forecast of the conditions that will exist during the time period encompassed by the project (see Section 3.1, Assessment of Commerciality). Conditions include technical, economic (e.g., hurdle rates, commodity prices), operating and capital costs, marketing, sales route(s), and legal, environmental, social, and governmental factors forecast to exist and impact the project during the time period being evaluated. While economic factors can be summarized as forecast costs and product prices, the underlying influences include, but are not limited to, market conditions (e.g., inflation, market factors, and contingencies), exchange rates, transportation and processing infrastructure, fiscal terms, and taxes.
  2. The resources being estimated are those quantities producible from a project as measured according to delivery specifications at the point of sale or custody transfer (see Section 3.2.1, Reference Point) and may permit forecasts of CiO quantities (see Section 3.2.2., Consumed in Operations). The cumulative production forecast from the effective date forward to cessation of production is the remaining recoverable resources quantity (see Section 3.1.1, Net Cash-Flow Evaluation).
