Our activities in Algeria

Algerian woman walks into the office

In Algeria, we operate in the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbons and natural gas, sectors in which we are the leading international energy company in the region. Thanks to a long-established partnership, we contribute to increasing and diversifying gas export flows to Europe and Italy. With the Eni Foundation we carry out several initiatives in the country to support the population in the area of health.

Our action in North Africa is made possible and facilitated by the long-standing collaboration with our historical partners. In a context where energy security has become urgent, we contribute to meeting growing local energy consumption, to making the energy mix more efficient and modern and to experimenting with new energy forms.

How we operate in the country

Gas as an ally to face energy challenges in Algeria

We operate across the country to develop natural resources. Our exploration activities are concentrated in the Bir Rebaa desert, the Berkine basin, and the In Amenas and In Salah concessions. They enable us to pursue our gas diversification and supply plan and keep our Net Zero target by 2050.

Our programme for the decarbonization of Algeria

We have signed strategic agreements with our Algerian partner Sonatrach to reduce greenhouse gas and methane gas emissions. They involve energy efficiency initiatives, the development of renewables, hydrogen production, and carbon dioxide capture and storage projects. The Bir Rebaa North photovoltaic park provides clean energy to the production site with two plants and a third one under construction.

At the Solar Lab, a twin laboratory of the Eni Research Centre in Novara which is open to universities and other public institutions for research purposes, we test different types of photovoltaic panels under the extreme radiation conditions found in the desert.

The Eni Foundation contributes to broadening access to health services

We support various initiatives to help reduce illness and mother and child mortality by improving hospital services, providing medical equipment and training health personnel, extending home services to remote areas and supporting mobile clinics.
