By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Algérie 360
France has asked Algeria to rapidly increase its deliveries of oil and liquefied natural gas, the specialist platform Attaqa reports, citing informed sources.

France has asked Algeria to rapidly increase its deliveries of oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG), the specialist platform Attaqa reports, citing informed sources. Algeria could meet the demand for crude oil, but LNG deliveries are constrained by Sonatrach’s existing commitments to other clients, the Algerian national hydrocarbons company.
The request comes amid disruption to global energy markets. Algeria became France’s second-largest supplier of petrol in 2026, according to a report published this year. The article on this development is available in our report on French supplies of Algerian petrol.
