High-Level Talks Highlight Joint Prospects in Hydrocarbon Exploration, Production, and Oil Services Investment in Algeria

Algiers, Algeria | May 21st, 2025 — In a significant step toward reinforcing bilateral investment ties, Sonatrach CEO Rachid Hachichi received a high-level delegation from Oman’s Mohammed Al Barwani Holding, led by the group’s Chairman and CEO.

The meeting centered on the potential expansion of cooperation between the Algerian hydrocarbon giant and the prominent Omani investment group. Key discussions focused on future collaboration in hydrocarbon exploration and production, as well as in oilfield services—sectors where both parties see strong mutual interests and complementary expertise.

The Omani delegation expressed a clear and firm interest in investing in Algeria, emphasizing the attractiveness of Sonatrach as a strategic, technically advanced, and reliable partner in large-scale energy ventures. They praised Sonatrach’s extensive experience, cutting-edge capabilities, and regional leadership, identifying the Algerian company as an ideal partner for high-impact energy projects.

Both sides reaffirmed their shared commitment to deepen bilateral ties, laying the groundwork for a long-term strategic partnership. This reflects broader aspirations by Algeria and the Sultanate of Oman to strengthen South-South cooperation and unlock greater opportunities in the global energy arena.

For context, Mohammed Al Barwani Holding is one of the largest private investment groups in Oman, active across exploration, production, and oil services, primarily through subsidiaries like Petrogas and Mohammed Al Barwani Oil Services.
