Founded in 1962, the Marsa El-Brega Refinery is an oil refinery located in Marsa El-Brega, in eastern Libya, in the Ajdabiya area and overlooking the Gulf of Sirte. The plant is operated by Sirte Oil Company for Production, Manufacturing of Oil and Gas, a company active in the production and processing of oil and gas.

The expansion and modernization initiative aims to significantly increase the refinery’s petrol production capacity, quadrupling it to 450 thousand tonnes per year. As a part of this project, the Combined Cycle has been revamped to utilize hydrogen generated by the new Platforming unit. Additionally, energy production has been optimized by recycling gas, resulting in a notable reduction in polluting emissions.
