Algiers, Algeria | June 26th, 2025 — In a powerful tribute to the men and women driving Algeria’s energy sector forward, Sonatrach, the country’s state-owned oil and gas conglomerate, held an official ceremony to honor a group of its outstanding employees for their exceptional service, innovation, and acts of bravery.

According to an official statement, the recognition ceremony reflects Sonatrach’s deep gratitude and appreciation for employees who demonstrated extraordinary commitment to the company’s mission. The honored individuals were selected for heroic actions that saved lives and protected vital infrastructure, as well as for scientific and technical contributions that led to substantial financial savings and operational efficiency.

Some of the celebrated employees were involved in high-risk emergency interventions, acting selflessly to avert disasters and safeguard lives. Others developed and implemented innovative solutions and scientific breakthroughs that optimized time-sensitive activities and reduced operational costs—contributing significantly to the company’s value chain.

In his address at the ceremony, Sonatrach’s CEO Rachid Hachichi praised the awardees, describing them as the embodiment of professionalism, excellence, and collective spirit. He stressed that their accomplishments are a source of inspiration and reflect the rich talent pool within the group.
