He said that Sonatrach would be ideal to work with because of its experience in the pan-African pipeline between Nigeria to Algeria, although this pipeline has not yet been constructed. He added that Gazprom was also interested: “We have signed an agreement with Gazprom,” Mr Ramirez said, “and they are very experienced in building such pipelines.”
