Startup Year: 2011
The project, called GR4, will see the construction of a 532km pipeline between the Rhourde Nouss oil and gas field, near the Libyan border, and Hassi R\'Mel. The pipeline will transport new gas production from both Rhourde Nouss and the planned Gassi Touil mega gas development to the northwest.
This is part of a project plans to increase Algeria\'s gas pipeline network by more than 1,400 kilometres, installing an additional 10 main pipelines. The total network length will increase to 21,475km and its capacity to 415 million tonnes of oil equivalent. The project involves the installation of 48-in pipelines from the country\'s central oil and gas fields to gas processing and export facilities at Skikda and Arzew on the northern coast. The pipe itself will be procured by Sonatrach.
