Tendrara Export Pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline in Morocco, which would connect the Tendrara gas fields to the Maghreb-Europe Gas Pipeline.
Location
The pipeline would run from the Tendrara gas fields, near Tendrara, Figuig province, Oriental region, to connect with the Maghreb-Europe Gas Pipeline near Ain Bni Mathar, Jerada province, in Oriental region, Morocco.
Background
In January 2020, British firm Sound Energy received approval from Morocco's Ministry of Energy to build a 120-km, 20-inch gas pipeline to connect gas fields near Tendrara to the Maghreb-Europe Gas Pipeline (also known as the Gazoduc Maghreb Europe pipeline). The gas would be liquefied at a liquefaction station at Tendrara before being transported via pipeline.[1]
In February 2020, Sound Energy received environmental approval from the Moroccan Ministry of Energy, Mines and Environment, and had at that point also successfully negotiated land access. At that time, a gas sale agreement was still being negotiated.[2]
In March 2022, Morocco's l’Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM) and Sound Energy signed an agreement to construct the pipeline.[3] As of August 2022, Sound Energy continued to develop the project and seek financing, linked to the Tendrara Production Concession.[4]
In May 2025, Sound Energy was sold to Managem SA, and Phase 2 of the concession project, which included the pipeline, was under continuing development. Managem planned to take FID in 2025.[5]
