Turkey wants to buy more liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Algeria and seek to extend the contract with this country, energy minister Taner Yildiz said on Friday. The existing contract for annual 4.4bn cubic meters of LNG expires in 2014 but Turkey wants to increase the amount of gas it purchases from Algeria to 6bn cubic meters and it also seeks a 5-10 contract, Yildiz added. Turkey and Algeria have already agreed on 2.5bn cubic meters of spot LNP purchase next year, Yilmaz asserted.
