Sonatrach has started production at the major new Reggane Nord natural gas field complex, an industry source said Friday.
In this aspect, the output is set to reach 8 million cu m/d at peak, giving Algeria’s maturing upstream sector a new boost.
Two other major fields are due online in 2018 — the Touat and Timimoun fields.
Earlier, Sonatrach has announced its plans to invest $2 billion to maintain current gas production levels at the giant Hassi R’mel gas hub in central Algeria.
