Gassi Touil is a large natural gas field in the Sahara Desert region of Grand Erg Oriental of Algeria , within the commune of Hassi Messaoud .[1] Berkine Basin , itself a region of the Ghadames Basin that extends into Tunisia . The land surface is dominated by extensive sand dune fields.[2]
Gassi Touil is the site of a major liquefied natural gas development project, in which natural gas extracted from the Gassi Touil field will be piped to a liquefaction plant at Djedid.[3] Repsol and Gas Natural , but their contract was terminated in 2007 by the Algerian state oil company Sonatrach , which elected to pursue the project on its own.[4]
On November 6, 1961, a gas well fire broke out at Gassi Touil, becoming known as the Devil's Cigarette Lighter . It was finally extinguished on April 28, 1962, by well fire specialist Red Adair .[5]
The field also produces oil, first discovered in 1961, from 38 wells as of 2008.[6]
