Wintershall Dea 正在扩大其在阿尔及利亚的业务。交易完成并获得监管部门批准后，该公司将通过收购前项目合作伙伴 Edison 的权益，将其在 Reggane Nord 天然气项目中的参与权益增加 4.5%。因此，该项目的运营商 Groupement Reggane Nord 将由 Sonatrach (40%)、Repsol (36%) 和 Wintershall Dea (24%) 组成。
对于 Wintershall Dea 来说，所有迹象都表明阿尔及利亚的增长。该公司自 2002 年以来一直活跃在这个北非国家。自 2017 年 12 月在 Reggane Nord 开始生产以来，该财团已生产了约 130 亿立方米的天然气。其在阿尔及利亚的业务是公司投资组合的重要组成部分，并将在未来扩大。为此，2022 年 2 月，Wintershall Dea 和合作伙伴 Sonatrach 延长了现有的谅解备忘录，以考虑在阿尔及利亚的新商机，不仅涉及天然气，还涉及氢气和碳捕获与储存 (CCS) 领域。
阿尔及利亚首席运营官兼负责董事会成员道恩·萨默斯 (Dawn Summers) 表示：“我们看到阿尔及利亚能源行业未来的巨大潜力；无论是扩大天然气生产，还是碳管理和氢项目。 Wintershall Dea 打算在未来积极进军阿尔及利亚。通过进一步收购 Reggane Nord 的股权，我们现在正在巩固我们在阿尔及利亚的业务，并为增长奠定基础。”
阿尔及利亚 Wintershall Dea 高级副总裁兼董事总经理 Thomas Ruttmann 表示：“Reggane Nord 自 2017 年以来一直可靠且经济高效地生产天然气。Wintershall Dea 不仅仅是投资者，我们的团队正在积极有效地贡献经验和专业知识。有助于提高该项目的效率，尤其是这里需要我们的钻井和油藏专业知识。我们很高兴现在增加了对该项目的参与兴趣，并在未来继续积极推进 Reggane Nord。”
Wintershall Dea is expanding its presence in Algeria. Following the completion of the transaction and regulatory approvals, the company is increasing its participating interest in the Reggane Nord natural gas project by 4.5% through the acquisition of interest from former project partner Edison. The Groupement Reggane Nord, operator of the project, will thus consist of Sonatrach (40%), Repsol (36%), and Wintershall Dea (24%).
For Wintershall Dea, all signs point to growth in Algeria. The company has been active in the North African country since 2002. Since production began in Reggane Nord in December 2017, around 13 billion m3 of gas have been produced in the consortium. Its business in Algeria is an important part of the company's portfolio and is to be expanded in the future. To this end, in February 2022 Wintershall Dea and partner Sonatrach extended an existing Memorandum of Understanding to consider new business opportunities in Algeria, not just in natural gas but also in hydrogen and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
Dawn Summers, Chief Operating Officer and the responsible Board Member for Algeria, says: "We see great potential for the future of the Algerian energy sector; both for the expansion of natural gas production, and for carbon management and hydrogen projects. Areas in which Wintershall Dea intends to become active in Algeria in the future. With the acquisition of further interest in Reggane Nord, we are now consolidating our presence in Algeria and setting the course for growth."
Thomas Ruttmann, Senior Vice President and Managing Director Wintershall Dea Algeria says: "Reggane Nord has been producing natural gas reliably and cost-efficiently since 2017. Wintershall Dea is not just an investor, our team is actively contributing experience and know-how and effectively contributes to the efficiency of the project – especially our drilling and reservoir expertise is in demand here. We are pleased to now increase our participating interest in the project and continue to actively advance Reggane Nord in the future."
Algeria is the largest producer of natural gas in Africa and the third largest exporter of natural gas to Europe. The North African country therefore makes a decisive contribution to Europe's energy supply and is the ideal partner for Europe to secure its energy supply and at the same time advance the energy transition.
