## Algeria Signs Bangladesh Gas Pact
Algeria signed a Bangladesh gas pact on Tuesday 20 October 2026, a memorandum of understanding on oil, gas and fertilizer cooperation.
## Signatories
Mohamed Arkab, Algeria’s Minister of State and Minister of Hydrocarbons, and Iqbal Hassan Mahmood, Bangladesh’s minister of power, energy and mineral resources signed the pact.
## What the Pact Covers
The pact covers possible supply of crude oil, refined fuels, liquefied petroleum gas, LNG and fertilizers like urea.
## How It Works
A joint steering committee will set priorities, review projects and coordinate between the two governments and their energy companies.
## Why Now
Bangladesh seeks new gas sources after disruptions to some LNG supplies, while Algeria’s LNG exports fell 6.5% in early 2026.
## Still Open
No volume, price or start date has been announced, and the pact binds neither side to a purchase.
## Why Bangladesh Wants Algerian Gas
Bangladesh imports much of its gas as LNG and wants to diversify after disruptions to traditional LNG imports.
## What Algeria Gains
Algeria exported 4.47 million tonnes of LNG in the first half of 2026, down 6.5% from 4.78 million tonnes, with most going to Europe.
## What It Means for US Readers
Algerian LNG going to Asia shifts from Europe, tightening supply and lifting gas prices for US farmers and energy markets.
## What Is Not Known
No volume, price, contract length or first delivery date has been announced for LNG or urea.
## Key takeaway

Algeria signed a Bangladesh gas pact on 20 October 2026, covering oil, gas, LNG and fertilizers like urea, with no volume or price set.
