First gas from In Salah project

摘要

BP and state-owned Sonatrach have commenced first gas sales from Algeria's In Salah gas project.The project initially entails the development of three proven gas fields at Krechba,Tegentour and Reg,located in the remote Saharan desert of southern Algeria.The gas is transported along a series of infield pipelines to the project's central processing facility at Krechba,and then along a 500-km export pipeline to Sonatrach's gas hub and collection point at Hassi R'Mel.By the end of this year gas deliveries will plateau at 9bn cm/y of gas,increasing Algerian gas exports by about 15%.
