Algeria: gas exports to the EU vs. domestic gas
demand (Source: BP statistical review 2016)
Over the past years a slight majority of Algerian LNG was exported to Europe with
France and Spain as the main destinations. With 13.1bcm in 2015, those two coun-
tries counted respectively for 33% and 28% of Algerian LNG exports to Europe,
29% of this LNG was exported to Turkey and 10% to other countries. Outside of
Europe small quantities were also delivered to African and Asian countries, count-
ing 3bcm in total for 2015 (see figure 3.25).
Figure 3.26 shows a close correlation between Algeria’s national demand and total
exports to EU (considering pipeline and LNG). In the period 2007–2015, Algerian
national gas demand has increased from 24bcm in 2007 to almost 40bcm in 2015,
representing an increase of 55%. On the other hand Algerian gas exports to Europe
have fallen from 50bcm to 30bcm, with a decrease of 25%
This represents the challenge for Algeria of developing gas production facing both
national demand and export expectations.
