Repsol announces gas finds in Algeria

ALGIERS, Algeria, Jan. 27 (UPI) -- Spanish integrated oil and gas company Repsol announced new gas discoveries in the Sahara desert in Algeria with 813 million cubic feet of net reserves.

Repsol said in a news release on its Web site that it confirmed significant discoveries in the Reggane, Ahnet and Berkine basins in western Algeria.

Initial testing of the fields showed a preliminary output of 35.3 million cubic feet per day, indicating a high potential, the company said.

The region in the western portion of Algeria is one of Repsol's areas of greatest potential growth, as outlined in the company's 2008-2012 strategic planning documents.

The Algerian government in 2002 and 2003 awarded the Spanish company the rights to explore the fields along with its consortium partners, Algeria's state-owned Sonatrach, Germany's RWE DEA and Italy's Edison S.p.A.
