Itkis, believe that the traditionally pessimistic view of potential hydrocarbon resources in Israel and Jordan should be revised in view of the results of new integrated geophysical studies suggesting promising targets for prospecting such as the methane-hydrates of the Eastern Mediterranean, bituminous carbonates, and gas deposits related to fossil mud volcano province of Israel and Jordan.
