Algeria

bp has been a major investor in Algeria for almost 30 years and has helped deliver two major gas ‎developments at In Salah Gas and In Amenas, accounting for up to 15% of Algerian gas exports. Both ‎are non-operated joint ventures, managed in partnership with Equinor and Sonatrach, the national oil ‎company of Algeria.

The In Amenas joint venture is one of the largest wet gas projects in Algeria and involved the development ‎and production of natural gas and gas liquids from fields in the Illizi Basin in south eastern Algeria. First gas ‎was produced at In Amenas in 2006. The In Amenas compression project is the final stage of planned ‎development, installing compression facilities to boost production. Start-up of the compression project is ‎anticipated in 2022.

A terrorist attack took place at the In Amenas gas facility in January 2013 resulting in 40 fatalities. Our ‎thoughts and sympathies remain with the families of all those affected by this terrible event.‎

The In Salah gas joint venture is one of the largest dry gas joint-venture projects in the country and involves ‎the development of seven proven gas fields in the southern Sahara, 745 miles (1,200km) south of Algiers. ‎The first phase of development came on stream in July 2004 with the second phase, the In Salah Southern ‎Fields project, coming on line in February 2016 and developing the remaining four fields.‎
