Viridien and ONHYM Join Forces on Morocco Basin Data
Viridien and Morocco's ONHYM have agreed to develop subsurface data and analysis for onshore and offshore sedimentary basins. The work may inform future exploration decisions, but no budget, schedule, new wells or commercial discovery has been disclosed.
Egypt Pitches Energy Infrastructure as Africa's Market Gateway
Egypt is pitching its gas network, LNG terminals and petroleum services as a way for African producers to process resources and keep more value on the continent. A $1.1 billion Petrojet contract in Algeria offers a concrete example. At the Alamein forum, Cairo is also making the case for financing and project delivery.
Egypt's Gas Network Faces an Emissions Test
Two new compressor units at Dahshour are expected to add 18 million cubic meters of gas capacity per day. Waste-heat recovery could generate around 24 megawatts of electricity as Egypt works to raise production and cut emissions from existing infrastructure.
Egypt Turns to Mature Fields to Rebuild Energy Supply
In June 2026, Egypt's gas consumption exceeded production by 77.67%, while oil consumption was about 24.88% higher than output. Brownfield upgrades and near-field tiebacks could ease the shortfall, but the results depend on execution and a gradual upstream recovery.
OPEC Chief Backs Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline as Niger Sets Survey Start
OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al-Ghais has backed the proposed pipeline from Nigerian gas fields through Niger to Algeria, with a possible link to Europe. Niger expects route surveys to begin in early October 2026, but the project still has no full delivery timetable.
Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt tighten security around Eastern Mediterranean energy sites
Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt have signed a new defence deal in Cairo to step up protection of gas fields and offshore energy sites in the Eastern Mediterranean. The agreement sets out joint military action and tighter security for key supply routes as regional threats grow.
Nigeria pushes Libya gas pipeline plan at Bangkok summit
Nigeria is stepping up its push to attract investment for its huge gas reserves, using the Gastech 2026 summit in Bangkok to advance talks on a Nigeria-Libya pipeline and set up a joint technical team to test if the project can move forward.
Libya aims for record gas output in five-year expansion plan
Libya's government has announced plans to raise daily gas production to 4 billion standard cubic feet within five years, signaling a major push to monetize discovered reserves and reposition the country in regional energy markets.
Algeria Hits Three-Year High in Natural Gas Production for 2026
Algeria has raised its natural gas output by 4.2% in the first half of 2026, reaching 54.01 billion m³-the highest level in three years-strengthening its role as a key supplier to Europe amid ongoing energy market pressures.
