Terror Attack On Algerian Gas Plant Raising Security Fears For North Africa’s Oil And Gas Infrastruc

A recent terrorist attack on a natural gas plant in Algeria is raising security fears for oil and gas infrastructure across North Africa. The grenade blast last week highlights the growing challenge for energy companies to secure remote installations and protect employees in the region, analysts said.

Last Friday, Islamic terrorists launched a rocket-propelled grenade at the In Salah natural gas field and processing plant in Krechba, in the Sahara desert. British oil giant BP and Norway’s Statoil jointly operate the installation with the Algerian national oil company Sonatrach.
