Located onshore Libya, the Abu Attifel and NC 125 fields are active in conventional oil production. Their peak production occurred in 1994, having already recovered 92.14% of their total recoverable reserves. Economic projections indicate that oil extraction will continue until these fields reach their economic limit by 2046. Presently, these fields contribute approximately 5% to Libya’s daily oil output.
The Assiut oil refinery in Egypt is undergoing a significant expansion and modernization effort to meet the rising demand for petroleum products in Upper Egypt.
As part of the refinery upgrade, new facilities including a naphtha complex and a hydrocracking complex will be added.
This expansion and modernization initiative will further boost the refining capacity of the existing refinery. Presently, the refinery processes 4.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of distillation crude.
The SALCOS DRP 1 is a direct reduction iron plant developed by Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH at the Salzgitter steelmaking site in Germany. The project involves the construction of a hydrogen-ready plant based on Energiron ZR technology, capable of producing over 2 million tonnes/year of DRI using natural gas and hydrogen in flexible proportions. Its objective is to progressively replace the traditional blast furnace–coal route with low-emission steel production through the DRP-EAF route, reducing CO₂ emissions and supporting the decarbonization of the steel industry.
