Algeria’s Tiguentourine gas plant is ready to come fully back online for the first time since a deadly militant attack in 2013, General Manager Kamel Aoues said on Saturday. “Full production is for the coming days, all tests have been passed successfully,” Aoues told Reuters during a press visit to the site.
The plant, 1,600 km (995 miles) south east of the capital Algiers, is operated by Algerian state energy firm Sonatrach, BP and Statoil. Current production is estimated at 16 million cubic metres per day, and should reach 24 million to 25 million cubic metres when the third and final section of the plant comes online, plant managers said. Algeria is a top gas supplier to Europe.
