New Market Research Report: Algeria Oil & Gas Competitive Intelligence Report Q4 2010

Nov. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Competitive Landscape Analysis

* The main government vehicle is Sonatrach, which accounts for around 80% of oil production and over 90% of natural gas supply. Refining and fuels distribution are also owned and operated by Sonatrach.
* IOC involvement is extensive, although their production entitlement fell in the late 2000s owing to adverse contract changes. All major projects are carried out in partnership with the state using production sharing contracts (PSCs).
* Italy's Eni has become the country's biggest foreign oil producer, having increased its presence through the acquisition of UK exploration company Lasmo and First Calgary. Average liquids production was 80,000b/d in 2009.
* Anadarko Petroleum is the second biggest foreign contributor to Algerian oil production. It has 9% of its proven reserves in the country (about 300mn boe). Net liquids production in 2008 stood at 58,000b/d.
* In 2008 CEPSA contributed 40,000b/d of oil production to Algeria's total through interests in two major projects. Fellow Spanish group Repsol YPF has extensive exploration interests.
* BHP Petroleum has a 45% equity stake in the Rhourde Oulad Djemma (ROD) project, which entered production in 2004 and entitled the group to a net of around 27,000b/d in 2009. BHP also has a 45% stake in the US$1bn Ohanet gas/condensate development in Illizi province.
* Maersk is a partner in the major HBN, HBNS and Ourhoud fields, with net output of around 30,000b/d in 2008.
* Hess has a JV with Sonatrach, called Sonahess, which is investing US$500mn over five years to enhance recovery from the el-Gassi, el-Agreb, and Zotti fields. The project yielded 14,000b/d net to Hess in 2009.
* Through directly owned interests, French major Total received a net 27,000b/d from Algeria in 2009, with an additional 19,000b/d from its stake in CEPSA.
* BP has no significant oil volumes, but is now a major gas player. The British major operates three key upstream gas projects, one of which -- In Salah -- is Algeria's largest gas development. BP works alongside Statoil, which acquired interests in Algeria in 2003.
* ConocoPhillips and Talisman Energy are partners in the MLN project and have production of around 11,000b/d and 15,000b/d respectively.
