Giant Hassi R’Mel gas field
Hassi R'Mel, Algeria's largest natural gas field, was discovered in 1956 alongside the Hassi Messaoud oil field, and has also been operated by state-owned company Sonatrach ever since. Production of natural gas started in 1961, and in 1964 Algeria became the first country to export liquefied natural gas (LNG). Natural gas from Hassi R’Mel is supplied to Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Tunisia, Italy, and Slovenia through three major export pipelines.
The seismic campaign of Hassi R’Mel region which started in 1951 led to a first exploration drilling in the south of Berriane. From this well there was evidence of a hydrocarbon reservoir in the level of TRIAS ARGILO GRESEUX (TAG). Following these results, the Hassi R’Mel Field, located at 550 km South from Algiers, was discovered in 1956 by the drilling of HR1. The field initially came on production in 1961 and has since been established as one of the world’s largest gas fields. It extends 70 km from North to South and 50km from east to west. The results of the different simulation studies based on the seismic, petrophysics characteristics, production history (gas and liquid) potential of the field and the gas market allowed the determination of: - Surface facilities design, - Treatment capacity (280 MM m3 / j) - Injection capacity (180 MM m3 / j)and - Number of producers (209) and injectors wells (57). This presentation is on : - the analysis of the field history in term of gas and liquid, - the optimisation of the network Facilities - the optimisation of gas injected and - the necessity of the boosting installation in 2003.

The Hassi er R'Mel is a Triassic gas field discovered in 1956 with the HR-1 well and located in a Cretaceous anticline of the M'zab dorsal structure separating the Western Org Paleozoic basin to the west and the Oued Mya basin to the east. Cambrian rhyolite forms the basement which is overlain by the Tassili Cambro-Ordovician sandstone group, a Siluro-Devonian shale and then Mesozoic sediments. The A, B and C reservoir sandstones are Permo-Triassic with a total thickness of about 115 m and sealed by Late Triassic salt and shale.
