Sonatrach and Portuguese buyer Galp on 11 June signed agreements to continue the supply of 2.5bcm/yr of Algerian natural gas for another ten years. The deal was seen as a boost to Algeria’s under-pressure European take-or-pay supply contracts, continuing a sales agreement first signed in 1994.The Portuguese agreement follows the finalisation of a new long-term supply deal with Eni in May.
