Algeria Gourara exploration basin
Loading current market price
Report summary
The Gourara Basin covers over 260,000 square kilometres of desert terrain in central Algeria. Exploration in the basin dates back to the 1950s, and since then a large number of primarily gas fields have been discovered in reservoirs of Silurian to Devonian age in the Paleozoic Gas play. Explorers in the basin will struggle to create value due to harsh fiscal terms and a challenging operating environment in this gas-prone basin.
