Sonatrach's gas output reached a record 134.3 billion cubic metres in 2025
Sonatrach's annual report shows gas production of 134.3 billion cubic metres in 2025, up from 127.9 billion in 2024, while gas exports fell 1% to 34 billion as domestic sales rose 7.8% to 57.3 billion. Investment rose 29% to about $7.9 billion, 69% of it upstream. In October the company announced a $71.6 billion investment programme to 2030.
Why it matters
Rising home demand is absorbing Algeria's extra gas, which limits how much more it can send to Europe.
