The largest wet gas joint development project in Algeria has commenced gas production.
The In Amenas gas project, a joint development with BP, Algeria’s Sonatrach and Norway’s Statoil includes development of four primary gas fields plus gas gathering and processing facilities. The first of three production trains was started on May 27 followed by a period of final commissioning and testing.
It is located approximately 850 kilometres south of Hassi Messaoud, in the south-east of the country.
Production will build over the next two months to approximately 9 billion cubic metres a year of gas (25 million cubic metres/870 million cubic feet per day) and some 50-60,000 barrels per day of liquids.
"This will reinforces Algeria’s position as a major producer of gas and exporter,” Tony Hayward, chief executive, BP Exploration and Production said
