Algeria: SONATRACH Delivers First LNG Cargo To Germany’s Wilhelmshaven Terminal

Algeria’s state-owned energy company SONATRACH has delivered its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo to Germany at the Wilhelmshaven 1 floating regasification terminal, the company said.

In a statement, SONATRACH said the cargo was loaded at its GL2Z liquefaction complex in Bethioua, Algeria, and transported aboard the TESSALA, an LNG carrier owned by the company.

The company said the delivery supports its strategy to expand the marketing of its gas resources in strategic, high-potential markets while demonstrating the flexibility of its LNG trading operations.

SONATRACH said it plans to increase LNG exports to the German market, strengthening its position as a supplier and contributing to Europe’s energy security.
