Perenco's Tunisian assets were acquired in July 2002. Perenco now owns 50% and operates the El Franig, Baguel, and Tarfa gas condensate fields in Central Tunisia.
Today, the production comprises 37 mmscfd of gas 4 mmscfd of LPG equivalent and 2500 b/d of condensates.
Production from the El Franig and Baguel fields is transported to the central processing facility in Oum-Chiah via 120km of pipeline. Condensate is transferred to the La Skhira terminal for export, and gas is delivered to the Gabes plant for domestic consumption.
In 2008, the construction of a new 72km, 10" gas pipeline from the central processing facility to Gabes, combined with a full-scale upgrade of the processing facility and the drilling of two new development wells, including EFR6, the first successful hydraulic fracturing treatment in the Tunisian Ordovician Hamra Quartzite reservoir, marked a major step in Perenco's investment history in the country.
