Commercialisation of Algerian natural gas in the European market: reality and prospects

الملخص EN

This study aims to analyse the development of Algerian gas exports and the effect they will have on the European gas market from 2000 to 2020, as well as to highlight the evolution of European demand forecasts for 2040.

After discovering its largest gas field in 'Hassi R'Mel' in 1964, Algeria became the first to export liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Since the establishment of the national company Sonatrach' in 1963, Algeria has been working to strengthen the position of its gas industry in the gas market nationally and internationally, with a particular focus on the European market.

Therefore, given Algeria's energy potential, we need to examine the country's strategy to ensure its continued strategic importance in the Mediterranean region.
