Despite the ongoing anti-shale gas protests in the province of Ain Salah in the great Algerian south, the Algerian government is pressing ahead with its shale gas development plans, according to Mr. Said Sahnoun, head of state-owned oil company Sonatrach.
On 8 February 2015, he announced at a press conference that shale gas drilling operations would continue at the Ahnet site in the province of Ain Salah. He also declared that the drilling apparatus would be transported to another exploration site in a few days time, without giving any details as to its location.
