GRTgaz, the French natural gas network operator and whose subsidiary manages three LNG import terminals, said no supply problems were foreseen this winter season and added that send-outs of LNG into the system had doubled over the past year.
Sonatrach, the Algerian national energy company now under a new chief executive, said it signed medium-term and long-term LNG and pipeline natural gas contracts with French utility Engie, the last of its European customers to renew delivery agreements.
