Algeria exported 1.57 million tons of liquefied natural gas during the third quarter of 2026, spanning the period between July and September. Data from the Washington-based Energy Research Unit details these shipments in its recently published Quarterly Report on Arab and Global LNG Markets. Turkey emerged as the primary destination for these energy supplies, importing 700,000 tons of the total volume. This quantity accounted for 45 percent of all Algerian liquefied natural gas exports for the three-month period. The report tracks these figures as part of a broader analysis of international market activity.
Leading Importers and Market Growth
France received 390,000 tons of Algerian liquefied natural gas during the third quarter of 2026. This volume represents a significant portion of the total exports recorded by the Energy Research Unit for that three-month window.
Italy also maintained its position as a key destination for these energy shipments. The country imported 200,000 tons of Algerian liquefied natural gas between July and September 2026.
Export activity to Turkey showed growth during the same timeframe. Shipments to the Turkish market increased by 11 percent in the third quarter of 2026 when compared to the corresponding period in 2025. These figures track the current distribution patterns of Algerian energy resources across these international markets.
Diversification of Export Destinations
Croatia increased its intake of Algerian liquefied natural gas during the third quarter of 2026. Shipments to the country reached 130,000 tons, an increase from the 60,000 tons recorded during the same period in 2025. These figures, tracked by the Energy Research Unit, reflect shifting energy import patterns within the European market.
Spain and the United Kingdom also participated in these trade flows during the July to September 2026 window. Each nation received 60,000 tons of Algerian liquefied natural gas. These volumes represent the specific quantities delivered to both markets as part of the total quarterly export data analyzed by the Washington-based Energy Research Unit.
Pipeline Gas Export Performance
Algeria maintained pipeline gas exports to Europe at an average of 78 million cubic meters per day during the third quarter of 2026. Data from the Washington-based Energy Research Unit confirms these delivery levels remained steady throughout the period spanning July to September. These pipeline flows represent a distinct component of the country’s energy export infrastructure, operating alongside the liquefied natural gas shipments tracked by the Energy Research Unit in its quarterly reporting. The consistent daily volume reflects the ongoing supply agreements between Algeria and its European partners. These exports continue to serve as a primary energy source for the region, supporting the established trade relationships between the exporting nation and European markets. The figures provided by the Energy Research Unit capture these specific transmission rates as part of its analysis of international energy distribution patterns during the third quarter of 2026.
