Algeria projects increase in natural gas production by 2026

Algeria is expected to see its average daily natural gas production rise to approximately 10 billion cubic feet by 2026, marking a 1.6% increase compared to the previous year. This growth is driven by the launch of new development projects and recent discoveries designed to offset the natural decline of older fields. Key projects initiated this year include the Tin Fouye Tabankort field and the In Amenas 2 development. Simultaneously, expansion efforts at the Hassi R'Mel field continue, aiming to boost dry gas and condensate reserves. Data from January to August 2026 indicates that daily output has already surpassed the 10 billion cubic feet threshold. This development aligns with Algeria's broader strategy to reach an annual production capacity of 200 billion cubic meters, with half earmarked for export markets.
