Eni, Sonatrach agree to increase gas supplies from Algeria through Transmed

Sonatrach and Eni signed an agreement that will allow Eni to increase the quantities of gas imported through the TransMed/Enrico Mattei pipeline under the umbrella of the long term gas supply contract in place with Sonatrach starting from the next fall. 

This agreement will allow Eni to exploit the pipeline's available transportation capacities to ensure greater supply flexibility, gradually providing increasing volumes of gas from 2022, up to 9 Bm³y in 2023-2024. 

The agreement between Eni and Sonatrach was defined and signed in record time following intense negotiations between the top management of the two companies. The new gas volumes covered by the agreement are also the result of the close collaboration in the development of upstream gas projects, leveraging Eni’s distinctive fast track model, which is bringing a significant acceleration to the production potential of the Algerian fields.

The CEO of Eni Descalzi thanked the Algerian institutions and Sonatrach and said, "Today is a special day for the relations between Italy and Algeria, in particular for Eni and Sonatrach. Thanks to the close the long-standing collaboration between the two companies, it was possible in a short time and with an enormous joint effort to sign this important agreement that further consolidates the partnership between the companies and strengthens the cooperation between our countries."
