The new volumes are added to those of the North Berkine contract and of the other operated activities, thus contributing to satisfying the demand of the European market.

Eni announces the recent start of production from two gas fields related to the Berkine Sud contract, in Algeria, just 6 months after the award of the contract, through an accelerated development (fast track).

The production of the South Berkine, which is the first contract to be signed under the new Algerian hydrocarbon law 19-13, is operated by Eni and Sonatrach and currently amounts to 1 million standard cubic meters per day of gas (MSm3 / d) about 4 barrels a day of associated liquids. The increase to around 2 MSm3 / d is expected by the end of the year, saturating the gas treatment capacity of the MLE plant, equal to 11 MSm3 / d.

Eni has been present in Algeria since 1981 and is today the main international energy company operating in the country. In September 2022, the company announced that it had reached an agreement on the acquisition of BP's operations in Algeria, including “In Amenas” and “In Salah”, the most important gas production fields operated by international companies in the country. Following this operation and the development programs in the Berkine basin, Eni's production in Algeria is expected to reach over 120.000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2023.
