Algeria is home to extensive natural gas reserves. The country is one of the world’s leading exporters of natural gas, and is Africa’s largest exporter by a wide margin. In 2012, 2.88 trillion cubic feet of dry gas were produced. The Hassi R’Mel field in eastern Algeria is the largest gas field. A significant share of withdrawn gas is reinjected to enhance oil recovery. Future production is expected to expand considerably, aided by the development of new projects in the southwestern portion of the country.
