Chaiman and CEO of the National Oil Corporation Farhat Bengdara issues a statement regarding the project to construct the South Refinery
The refinery will start operating in the south within 36 months .
Through our contract with Honeywell UOP , we seek to increase the production capacities of the refineries in Zawia , and to find suitable and available solutions for the Ras Lanuf refinery .
We aspire to reach a level of self-sufficiency in fuels and stop importing them from abroad because of high cost .
Honeywell UOP provided technical solutions for associated gas by condensing it ,recycling it, converting it into commodities , or transporting it to power stations.
Paying attention to oil refineries and industries , as one of the most important pillars in the coming years , is part of the NOC’s corporate strategy .
