Algeria, the third largest exporter of natural gas to Europe, has the tenth largest natural gas deposits in the world, according to UPI, but, despite its large reserves, its production has been declining.

Last month, the CEO of Sonatrach, Abdelmoumen Ould Kaddour, called for increased natural gas production from the Roude El Baguel and Hassi Massaoud oilfields. He also said that Algeria is looking to increase the volume of its exports to Spain via the Medgaz pipeline this year, according to media reports at the time.

KBR is a US-based company that specializes in governmental services and hydrocarbon development.

The Algerian JVGAS is a joint venture between Sonatrach, Statoil, and BP. Sonatrach is a state-operated energy company in Algeria.
