BP (BP) along with Azerbaijan's national oil company Socar and Israeli firm NewMed Energy were granted licenses to explore for natural gas in 1,700 square kilometers of Mediterranean Sea waters near the Leviathan field, , Reuters reported Monday.

Socar will serve as operator of the exploration consortium while BP will make its first foray into Israel's natural gas sector, the report said
NewMed is the largest stakeholder in Leviathan, the offshore field operated by Chevron (CVX), the report said.
Each company will hold about a third of the rights in the licence, the report said.
