Gas discovery in Algeria

RWE Dea has discovered gas from a deep well with a depth of 5,116 meters in the Reggane North region, Block 351c and 352c. RWE Dea has been active in Algeria since 2003.

In addition to the other reservoirs already discovered, this geological formation adds to the regions gas reserves. Extensive exploration and evaluation work is in progress in the Reggane Basin.

The Reggane North concession is being exploited by the company in a consortium with Repsol YPF as operator, Sonatrach and Edison International, in which RWE Dea holds a 30% share. Since the formation of the consortium, Reggane-6 is the 4th well to produce gas.
