AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoMethane & Energy Transition: A new CATF/Carbon Limits report says Algeria and eight other African and Latin American producers can cut methane using existing tools like LDAR, VRUs, better flaring, and replacing gas-driven pneumatics—though results depend on infrastructure, regulation, and financing. Oil Market Volatility: Oil prices eased after a spike above $100 as OPEC pledged more supply; Reuters cited expectations that Algeria and others would raise September output targets by 188,000 bpd, while regional supply-risk fears still loom. US Tariffs Hit Algeria: The U.S. imposed new Section 301 “forced labor” duties on 60 economies, effective July 24, replacing expiring Section 122 levies; Algeria is listed among the 12.5% tier, raising compliance and cost risks for importers. Trade Shock Legal Push: Two U.S. businesses sued to block the tariff regime, arguing the forced-labor findings were predetermined—adding uncertainty for companies planning sourcing and pricing. Local Business & Community: Algiers opened a nearly $1m splash pad to help children cool off in summer, part of broader efforts to expand local amenities.
