Davis Polk advised Delek Drilling Limited Partnership, as sponsor, on the Rule 144A offering by its special-purpose vehicle Leviathan Bond Ltd.’s $2.25 billion principal amount of four tranches of senior secured notes, with limited recourse to the sponsor.

The notes are secured by Delek Drilling Limited Partnership’s 45.34% working interest in the world-class Leviathan gas field located in the East Mediterranean Sea, which is the largest private sector energy project in Israel’s history and which reached first gas in December 2019.

Dworkin and associates Rebecca L. Roman, Jason Palios and Christina C. Bell. Counsel Alon Gurfinkel and associate Veronica Davis provided tax advice.
