Libya’s Sirte Oil and Gas Company, a subsidiary of the National Oil Corporation, has successfully resumed operations at its Methanol II plant after a seven-year shutdown.
Production restarted following the installation and successful testing of a new natural gas heater.
The company is also working to bring its Methanol I plant back online. Technical teams are currently carrying out major overhauls, including the installation of thermal reformer pipes and a full upgrade of the plant’s control systems.
Once operational, the Methanol I and Methanol II plants are expected to deliver a combined daily output of 2,000 metric tons, strengthening Libya’s methanol production capacity.
