30th Anniversary of the Creation of SONATRACH
1963 with an initial mission of transport and marketing of hydrocarbons. Sonatrach's missions were expanded by Decree No. 66-296 of September 22, 1966 to cover research, production, transport, processing and marketing of hydrocarbons.
Even today, Sonatrach remains a public company whose missions and activities are oriented towards the national interest. Its traditional mission is to manage and develop the national hydrocarbon mining domain with two major objectives: to cover the long-term national hydrocarbon needs and to finance the development of the nation through the provision of foreign currency.
It also has a pilot role in the Algerian economy to satisfy national and international hydrocarbon markets; constitute a powerful industrial center integrating all its professions; ensure the development and therefore the sustainability of the company; participate in the recovery and redeployment of the national economy. Today, December 31, 1993, Sonatrach is 30 years old.
It is a long journey which will require evaluating all the actions and achievements that have marked it. It is a tremendous human achievement and we must pay tribute to all those who took part in it at all levels. These thirty years of building the precious tool of the nation that Sonatrach has always been, are in fact, we can never emphasize it enough, a collective work.
The women and men of Sonatrach can be proud of what they have done together. Over these thirty years, Sonatrach has gradually secured its own businesses; it has fully assumed its role as a company in the service of national development; she prepared to actively occupy a deserved place on the world stage. Tomorrow, it will be an international oil group.
