  • How many oil refineries are there in Algeria?
  • There are five oil refineries in Algeria with a nameplate capacity of 652 500 bpd. The Skikda refinery is the country’s largest and has a processing capacity of 352 700 bpd of crude oil and condensate. The vast majority of Algeria’s domestic petroleum consumption is derived from domestically refined products.
  • What type of oil does Algeria produce?
  • Algeria’s oil fields produce high quality, light, sweet crude oil with a very low sulfur content. The country’s main crude oil grade is the Sahara blend (API gravity of 46.0° and a sulfur content of 0.10%), which is a blend of crude oils produced at fields in the Hassi Messaoud region. 3 Algeria’s largest oil fields are mature.
  • Why is Algeria a major oil producer and exporter?
  • In addition, Algeria solidified its role as a main oil producer and exporter in the international landscape by joining the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1969. Hydrocarbons massively contribute to the Algerian foreign trade, as oil and mineral fuels account for around 95 percent of the total exports.
  • Who owns the oil in Algeria?
  • Sonatrach owns approximately 80% of total hydrocarbon production in Algeria. Militant groups operating in North Africa and the Sahel have presented security risks to oil and natural gas installations in the region. As of January 2014, Algeria was estimated to hold 12.2 billion bbls of proved crude oil reserves.
