Atlantic basin

The LNG production in the Atlantic basin (including Mediterranean Sea) reached its maximum in 2010 with 83.5 bcm (918 TWh). Since then it decreased by 16% despite of the addition of Angola to the list of producing countries. This decrease is common to most of the countries of the region. Particularly significant were the decreases in Egypt (6bcma), Algeria (4bcma) and Nigeria (2bcma).

Figure 5.56: LNG Shares by producing country in the Atlantic basin 2001 – 2013 (Source BP Statistical Review)

In 2001, Algeria produced almost 70% of the LNG in the Atlantic basin. During the 2001–2013 period new liquefaction plants were commissioned while Algerian LNG exports decreased. This has resulted in a diversification of LNG supply in the Atlan- tic basin. In 2013, the biggest Atlantic producer was Nigeria (with 32% of the LNG produced in the basin), followed by Trinidad and Tobago (28%) while Algeria falls to the third place with 21%.
