Morocco's natural gas production rises 25% in the first half of 2026

Figures from Morocco's National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM) show overall gas production up 25% in the first half of 2026, with Gharb up 40% and Essaouira up 23%. Gas deliveries to industrial customers in Kenitra rose 67% and supplies to OCP in Youssoufia rose 24%. ONHYM's 2025 report also identifies eight potential oil prospects, five in the Tadla basin and three in Missour.

Why it matters

Domestic output remains small beside the roughly 338.46 million cubic metres imported through the Maghreb-Europe pipeline, so its growth is worth watching for industrial users.
