Analysis Of The Effects Of The Strait Of Hormuz Crisis On Algerian Gas Exports

Authors : Younes Mourad .

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the repercussions of the Strait of Hormuz crisis on the Algerian gas sector’s exports, which resulted in the cessation of 20% of liquefied gas flows from the Gulf countries to global markets, thereby providing Algeria with an opportunity to benefit from the Gulf gas markets lost to Europe and to conclude spot contracts, especially amid rising prices, which led to enhanced revenues. However, Algeria still faces several challenges, including rising domestic consumption, concerns about the effects of exploiting shale gas on groundwater, and the possibility of gas price declines due to the global economy entering a recessionary phase, as well as the search for alternative energies in light of ongoing technological developments worldwide.
