The National Oil Corporation has announced the launch of the first phase of a gas pipeline linking the Farigh Field to Brega, aimed at increasing natural gas supplies across the country.
According to the NOC, the initial phase covers the section connecting the pipeline from the Farigh field at the receiving point in the Zueitina axis at Field 103A to the 42-inch pipeline running from the Zueitina axis to a connection point at kilometre 91 within the pipeline network operated by Sirte Oil and Gas Production and Manufacturing Company, the Libya Observer reported.
The corporation said gas pumping operations have already begun, with pressure balancing currently underway as part of the commissioning process and integration of the pipeline segment into the operational system.
It added that gas flow from Field 103 is expected to be directed into the Sirte Company’s system in Brega and subsequently into the coastal gas network by the end of the current month, helping to strengthen the country’s gas supply capacity.
