An offshore project based on gas production in deep waters up to 2 km off the maritime border between Mauritania and Senegal. It is currently the deepest offshore project in Africa. Planned in phases, the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim LNG project will produce up to 10 million tonnes of LNG per year (Mtpa). A new drilling called Greater Tortue Ahmeyim-1 was carried out to a total depth of 4,884 meters in the eastern part of the Greater Tortue area, discovering 30 meters of net gas in a high-quality Albian reservoir in July 2019. This new discovery indicates the potential to expand the capacity of the LNG project beyond 10 Mtpa in the future.

In production since 2004, In Salah Gas is a joint venture between Sonatrach, BP and Statoil (now Equinor). It is Algeria’s largest dry natural gas joint venture and one of the country’s key gas export projects supplying Southern Europe. The project has a production capacity of approximately 9 billion cubic metres of dry natural gas per year from seven gas fields located in the central Algerian Sahara.
