Petrojet will construct the first two sections of the pipeline running from Hassi R’Mel to Mechatine, a total of 433 kilometers. Saipem would construct the left over section to Skikda port and El Kala, a total of 351 kilometers.
The added capacity will be utilized to feed two Algerian power stations, the domestic gas network, liquefied natural gas terminal and also provide gas for the planned Galsi pipeline running from Algeria to Italy through Sardinia.
