Atlantic basin
The LNG production in the Atlantic basin (including Mediterranean Sea) reached its
maximum in 2010 with 83.5 bcm (918 TWh). Since then it decreased by 16%
despite of the addition of Angola to the list of producing countries. This decrease is
common to most of the countries of the region. Particularly significant were the
decreases in Egypt (6bcma), Algeria (4bcma) and Nigeria (2bcma).
In 2001, Algeria produced almost 70% of the LNG in the Atlantic basin. During the
2001–2013 period new liquefaction plants were commissioned while Algerian LNG
exports decreased. This has resulted in a diversification of LNG supply in the Atlan-
tic basin. In 2013, the biggest Atlantic producer was Nigeria (with 32% of the LNG
produced in the basin), followed by Trinidad and Tobago (28%) while Algeria falls to
the third place with 21%.
