Algeria's Sonatrach Subsidiaries Sign Three Oil and Gas Cooperation Agreements with Niger

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Several subsidiaries of Algeria's national oil company Sonatrach have signed memorandums of understanding with Niger's national oil company (SONIDEP) to cooperate in oil and gas drilling, geophysical exploration, and fuel distribution in Niger.

Niger's Minister of Petroleum, Tini, stated that the three agreements signed are an extension of the cooperation framework established between the two parties in October 2024, marking a new phase in joint venture cooperation in the oil and gas sector. Sonatrach CEO Nourredine Daoudi noted that these agreements will strengthen geophysical research and seismic data processing capabilities, helping to enhance Niger's oil and gas exploration levels.

This cooperation comes as Algeria, Niger, and Nigeria advance the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline project, which aims to transport Nigerian gas through Niger to Algeria and then to European markets. Minister Tini reaffirmed Niger's support for the project, calling it "a strategic project of great significance not only for the three participating countries but for the entire African continent."
