<h2>Location and Operating Area</h2>
<p>The project is located onshore in the central Sahara region of Algeria. The basin is not specified in project-level sources. The asset comprises seven fields: Krechba,Teg,Reg,Gour Mahmoud,In Salah,Garet el Befinat,and Hassi Moumene.</p>
<h2>Operator and Ownership</h2>
<p>The project is operated by Groupement In Salah Gas. Parent companies are Sonatrach (35%),Eni (33.2%),and Equinor (31.8%). Eni acquired BP's interests in both the In Salah and In Amenas concessions,with the transaction announced in September 2022 and closed in February 2023. Equinor entered Algeria in 2003 by acquiring interests from BP.</p>
<h2>Development History</h2>
<p>Production commenced in August 2004 from the northern fields Krechba,Teg,and Reg. The Southern Fields project started up in 2016,adding the four southern fields Gour Mahmoud,In Salah,Garet el Befinat,and Hassi Moumene. This phase included a new processing facility,over 300 kilometres of pipelines,and 26 wells,designed to maintain production at 9 billion cubic metres per year. In 2023,Eni completed the acquisition of BP's Algerian business,taking over its stake in the two concessions.</p>
<h2>Production and Reserves</h2>
<p>Production capacity is reported at 9 billion cubic metres per year (Equinor). Global Energy Monitor lists 2022 production of 5,953.54 million cubic metres per year and design capacity of 9,095.68 million cubic metres per year for 2023. Remaining recoverable reserves were estimated at 131,126.68 million cubic metres (2021) and 121,508.25 million cubic metres (same year). In 2021,In Salah and In Amenas together produced approximately 11 billion cubic metres of gas and 12 million barrels of condensates and LPG (Eni). The project is described as a dry gas development.</p>
<p>The project has been noted for carbon dioxide separation and geological storage activities at the Krechba field,which have been discussed in technical literature as an early example of carbon capture and storage associated with gas processing.</p>
<h2>Recent Developments</h2>
<p>In March 2024,Sonatrach,Eni,and Equinor signed a memorandum of understanding to revitalize exploration,assessment,and development activities in the In Salah and In Amenas regions. The project remains an operating asset within the active upstream portfolios of its owners.</p>
