In February 2020, industry sources indicated that BHP is looking to divest its interests in Algeria. The company is partner of Eni in a cluster of fields known as the ROD integrated development, Berkine Basin, south-eastern Algeria  On 21 July 2016, partner BHP announced that the validity of six production concessions in the ROD asset will be extended by ten years. The concessions are: Rhourde Ouled Djemma (ROD)/402A, Rhourde El Rouni Nord (RERN)/401A, Rhourde El Attar (RAR)/402A, Bir Sif Fatima (BSF)/402, Sif Fatima Nord-Est (SFNE)/402 and Rhourde Debdeba (TAGI)/402A. The validity of the concessions will thus be extended from 2026 to 2036. The six concessions are believed to have a gross combined output of around 49,000 b/d of oil.  Participants in the six concessions are: ENI, operator with 31.35%, BHP with 17.65% and Sonatrach with 51%.  The Rhourde Ouled Djemma - Bir Sif Fatima North - Bir Rebaa Sud-Est (ROD-BSFN-BRSE) field was originally discovered by Agip in 1996 with the Bir Rebaa Sud-Est 1 wildcat. As was to be proved subsequently, the well had intersected the southern part of the field.
