Algiers (Algeria), 12 October 2023 – The CEO of Eni Claudio Descalzi met the Minister of Energy and Mines of Algeria, Mohamed Arkab, and the newly appointed CEO of SONATRACH, Rachid Hachichi, in Algiers today, to discuss gas production and export, investments in the country and energy transition initiatives.
