The field is expected to achieve peak production in 2017 and yield 1.056 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of gas and 1,372 barrels per day (bpd) of condensate. The largest customer of the Tamar field produce will be Israel Electric Corporation.

With one trillion cubic feet of reserves, the Yam Tethys field was hailed as a significant hydrocarbon reserve before the discovery of the Tamar field. Production from the Yam Tethys field started in 2004 but soon experienced depleting production rates.
