Before initiating the application, ensure your company meets the following baseline criteria:
Most registrations are processed via the Sonatrach E-Procurement Portal (often accessed through the official Sonatrach website).
Plans for local hiring, knowledge transfer, and training programs for Algerian engineers.
Client references should explicitly detail the project scope, value, duration, and contact metrics. Generic "satisfactory performance" notes carry little weight.
: Use the Official Sonatrach Contact Portal or the Sonatrach Petroleum Corporation (SPC) for international trading and logistics inquiries.
For over half a century, has been more than just an oil company—it is the economic backbone of Algeria. As the largest company in Africa, the primary supplier of natural gas to Europe, and a global player in hydrocarbon exploration, production, and refining, Sonatrach represents one of the most lucrative, yet tightly controlled, B2B procurement ecosystems in the world.
Once registered, you must be able to issue and receive electronic invoices through the Algerian government’s FacturElectronique portal, integrated with Sonatrach’s Ariba system. Paper invoices will not be processed.
