Concluding remarks (1)
Main Factors of Success for our company and the investors in Algeria,
1.
Important base of reserves
2.
Sedimentary basins of high potential and under explored
3.
More than 40 years of experience in integrated oil and
gas activities, from upstream to downstream
4.
Leading experience in the gas chain, mainly in gas
liquefaction
5.
Proximity to important markets
6.
Successful record of partnership
Concluding remarks (2)

Sonatrach considers partnering as a key liver for implementing his strategy,

Partnership with foreign companies has given substantial results in the upstream and our ambition is to
reach similar results in downstream activities,

Many projects in the downstream sectors are planned for the next five years in refining and
petrochemicals (more than 10 billions $US will be invested)

The Algerian mining domain is still under explored and the potential of the unconventional resources,
Tight ands shale gas is very high: so welcome to the Canadian company to explore and develop shale
gas in Algeria. More than fifty Billions US$ will be instead in the the investment in the upsteram

Several opportunities available in the hole hydrocarbon value chain (E&P, energy services, Construction,
Refinery, Petrochemicals…) and in the renewable and new energy.

The Canadian Oil and Gas company are welcome to invest in Algeria were all the conditions and rules for
transparency are set up to allow to the foreign company to be present in force.

Many Canadian companies are present in Algeria, as SNC Lavalin in the construction and Talisman in the
Upstream (field developpement) with a successful business and we hope that others company will visit
our country to see the reality and to meet business private and state companies.
