Zerguine added that Sonatrach is allocating USD14 billion out of the USD80 billion to set up 5 large refineries that would aid the company in boosting its refining capacity to 30 million tons a year from 27 million tons.
He said that the state-run energy firm would invest USD15 billion in oil and natural gas projects in 2013, whereas in the current year, it has invested USD10 billion so far.
