Who is that from? And were the pipelines from France to Algeria cut? I hadn’t seen that (of course I don’t see everything), I’ll look.
Can’t find anything on pipelines from France to Algeria being damaged recently, other than this from July 25. Between Spain and Algeria, not France. After searching various ways, I can’t even find any info about any gas lines from Algeria to France.
Algeria temporarily suspended the supply of gas to Spain due to a malfunction in a key natural gas pipeline that connects the two countries.
“The Spanish technical teams are working to carry out the necessary repairs and restore the gas supply to Spain as soon as possible,” Algeria’s oil and gas company Sonatrach said in a statement carried by the state-run Algeria Press Agency on Sunday.
It added that the malfunction occurred on the Spanish side of the pipeline.
The incident in the Medgaz underwater natural gas pipeline comes as European countries face the prospect of gas shortages as the EU continues to impose sanctions on Russia, its main gas supplier, over Moscow’s military offensive in Ukraine.
