Libya’s Vision for Southern Oil Refinery and Gas Pipeline

In a significant development aimed at bolstering Libya’s energy sector and fostering regional development, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Council, Moussa Al-Koni, recently held a crucial meeting with the Minister of Oil and Gas of the Government of National Unity, Mohamed Aoun.

The meeting, held in the capital city, addressed several pivotal issues including the possibility of establishing an oil refinery in the southern region of the country, enhancing fuel supply, and powering the Ubari power plant through a new gas pipeline.

A statement released by the Presidential Council highlighted that both Al-Koni and Aoun acknowledged the vital importance of the proposed oil refinery in the southern region. The project is anticipated to not only contribute to the national fuel supply but also create employment opportunities and stimulate economic development in the area.

Additionally, discussions during the meeting centered on the establishment of a gas pipeline that would supply the Ubari power plant. The power plant is crucial for ensuring a stable electricity supply to the region. By linking the power plant to a dedicated gas pipeline, authorities aim to secure a more efficient and reliable source of energy for the Ubari region, ultimately benefiting the local populace.

Furthermore, Deputy Chairman Al-Koni and Minister Aoun also delved into human resources development programs that seek to enhance the efficiency and expertise within the southern region’s oil sector.
