Algeria’s In Amenas gas plant is ready to come fully back online for the first time since militants attacked three and a half years ago. All tests at the gas plant have been successfully passed and full production should come onstream in the coming days.
In Amenas is operated by Sonatrach, BP, and Statoil.
The plant is currently producing at a rate of about 16 Mmcm/d and should reach 24-25 Mmcm/d when the third and final train comes online.
40 oil workers, the majority of which were expatriates, were killed in January 2013after al Qaeda militants attacked the plant and took dozens of workers hostage.
The In Amenas is the largest wet gas development project in Algeria. The project includes the development of four primary gas fields in the Illizi Basin in south-eastern Algeria and the associated gas processing facility. The four primary gas fields are the Tiguentourine, Hassi Farida, Hassi Ouan Taredert, and Hassi Ouan Abecheu.
