SONATRACH SONATRACH OBJECTIVES

Diversification in domestic and international downstream business (distribution, power generation,...).

Target the utilisation sectors, such as power generation, that enable to disconnect the gas price from the oil price.

' - y Ijnn. Gas valorisation in domestic and international non energetic sectors (, fertilisers,..).
