NOC Chairman Suleiman announces completion of 130 km gas pipeline from Zueitina Field 103 to Sirte Oil Line 36B

National Oil Corporation Chairman Masoud Suleiman announced the completion of a 42-inch, 130-kilometer gas pipeline. This pipeline connects Zueitina Oil Company’s Field 103 to Sirte Oil Company’s Line 36B. Suleiman described the project as a strategic achievement, highlighting the oil sector's ability to overcome challenges. The pipeline, which was halted before 2011, will transport gas to the Kilometre 91 Complex, connecting with Line 36B. This will facilitate more efficient gas transport from the Al-Faragh field, helping to reduce gas flaring. Additionally, it will support the supply of approximately 150 million cubic feet of gas per day to the main compression station, from where it will be distributed through the coastal gas network to consumers. Suleiman thanked the technical, engineering, and administrative teams from Sirte Oil Company, Zueitina Oil Company, and the National Oil Corporation for their contributions to the project, emphasizing its importance for the national economy, meeting local market needs, and enabling surplus exports.
