Libya has begun operations on a new gas pipeline that links the Farigh field in the Sirte Basin to the coastal hub of Brega to stabilize domestic gas supply. The National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced the first phase of the project, with gas now flowing from Field 103 to a reception point in Zueitina, where it enters an existing 42-inch pipeline managed by the Sirte Oil and Gas Production and Manufacturing Company.

This gas will supply facilities in Brega and support Libya's coastal network, crucial for power generation and industry. Natural gas is vital for Libya, accounting for 70% of electricity production, with proven reserves estimated at 53 trillion cubic feet. However, the NOC has alerted to possible gas shortages due to increasing supply pressures.
