Chevron nears a final investment decision on capacity expansion of Leviathan natgas field

LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Chevron CVX.N said on Wednesday it was nearing a final investment decision for a potential capacity expansion of the Leviathan reservoir off Israel's Mediterranean coast.

In August, the Leviathan natural gas field signed the largest export agreement in Israel's history, worth up to $35 billion, to supply gas to Egypt.

Chevron holds 40% of Leviathan and is the field's operator.
