Sirte Oil Company recovers 60 million cubic feet of gas daily that would otherwise be flared.
Sirte Oil Company has restarted a natural gas processing unit at Brega after years out of service, enabling Libya to recover gas that would otherwise be burnt off.
The National Oil Corporation announced the restart on October 25, stating the unit would redirect 60 million cubic feet of gas into the supply network. This action aims to reduce flaring and make more of the resource available for use, citing environmental protection as a benefit.
The announcement did not specify if the 60 million cubic feet figure represented a daily volume.
