In France, the merger of zones allows an improvement of the remaining flexibility, even in the Low infrastructure scenario. In this GRIP, all route disruptions from Algeria have been analysed. Algerian gas is exported to Spain and therefore to the South Region, through two pipelines: \\ MAGHREB- Europe gas pipeline which came on line in 1996, linking Hassi R’Mel field in Algeria with Córdoba (Spain) via Morocco, where it is connected with the Spanish and Portuguese gas networks. The capacity of this pipeline is around 13bcma. \\ MEDGAZ is a deep-water gas pipeline which came on line in 2011 and directly connects Algeria with Spain. MEDGAZ supplies natural gas directly from Beni Saf on the Algerian coast to Almeria in Andalusia. The capacity of this pipeline is around 9bcma.
