L'Algérie est 2e en Afrique (derrière le Nigeria?) avec des réserves de pétrole estimées à près de 12 milliards de barils. L'Algérie exporte plus de 80% de sa production de gaz et de pétrole, selon OBG.
Exporting as it does over 80% of its oil and gas, with hydrocarbons revenues making up 95% of its foreign currency reserves, the energy sector has long been Algeria’s economic saviour. Indeed, Algeria’s energy sector is currently churning out 1.3m barrels of oil per day (bpd) and has around 11.4bn barrels of oil in reserve, the second-highest amount in Africa. And there’s no sign of the activity ceasing. A significant gas deal with Russia, the announcement of several renewable energy programmes, with the state aiming to meet 5% of energy needs using solar power by 2010, and large-scale infrastructure upgrading and investigations into nuclear power all look set to keep the sector pumping. To this end, the state has announced a production target of 2m bpd of oil and 85bn cu metres of gas per year by 2010. Foreign firms were dismayed, however, by the amendment of the 2005 Hydrocarbons Law, which had appeared to promise extensive liberalisation but instead retained a sizeable portion of the industry in state hands. So are there good times ahead? Long-term, the figures are impressive: oil investment is predicted to hit the $38bn mark by 2030; marketed gas production is forecast to reach 198bn cu metres by the same year; while LNG exports should soar to 144bn cu metres in the same timeframe. All this, and, according to industry experts, Algeria is the least drilled country in the world.
