A. Background and Objectives
A.1 Introduction
Piped natural gas cannot be adequately supplied along the coastal areas of Libya, where most of the
power generation capacity is located, due to limitation of the domestic gas production available for the
power sector and the maximum permissible pipeline pressure in the coastal pipeline. Furthermore,
natural gas production in Libya is expected to reduce over the next few years and will be increasingly
insufficient to meet power generation needs, even when future gas exploration and production plans are
considered. In 2019, there was expected to be a natural gas deficit of around 548 MMscfd (million
standard cubic feet per day) along the Libyan coast, mainly due to pipeline pressure. This deficit was also
estimated to grow to around 1, 308 MMscfd by 2022, driven by two factors: under-construction power
plants being commissioned and reduction in domestic gas supply availability. This deficit has resulted in
purchases of expensive liquid fuels estimated to have cost approximately US$1.5 billion in 2019, which
would increase to around US$8.2 billion by 2022 due to increased generation from new plants as well as
better maintained old plants.
Based on a detailed study of fuel supply options for the power plants in Libya (summary of the results is
presented in Section A.2 below), increasing natural gas supply through LNG imports(FSRU-based facilities,
one on either side of the western/central segment, one in Tripoli West and another one in Tobruk) was
found to be the most economically attractive option for the next 6-8 years. Based on preliminary
estimates, these facilities can be implemented in approximately 12-18 months with a capital cost of nearly
US$250 million per terminal (depending on layout). Measures such as reducing natural gas exports to Italy
and increasing compression pressure at Mellitah were found to be necessary, but insufficient to address
the shortfall. An alternate solution to build a looping pipeline (an additional pipeline section parallel to
the main coastal pipeline) to increase flow between Mellitah and south Tripoli was also found inadequate
due to likely shortfalls in local gas production over the short-medium term in addition to involving pipeline
costs and high project completion risks. Further, upcoming generation capacities in West Tripoli (West
Station), Derna and Tobruk cannot be supplied natural gas through pipelines and can only be run with
imported liquid fuels or LNG. Some of the benefits of LNG imports were found to be as follows:
1) Potential savings: that can be realized by importing LNG instead of fuel oil to supply existing power
plants and those currently under construction, categorized by region include the following:
- US$18.2 billion of NPV (10 years) savings in the western and central segments (excluding West Tripoli
(West Station).
- US$3.1 billion of NPV (10 years) savings in the West Tripoli (West Station) region (if both plants come
online).
- US$1.5 billion of NPV (10 yeas) savings in the Tobruk region.
2) Currently, the pressure in the coastal pipeline is too low to reach central locations such as Sirte and
even barely reaches Misrata. The regasified LNG entering the system will be sufficiently pressurized to
reach such locations and can lead to an efficient reallocation of natural gas along the pipeline, leading to
improved management of power plants according to least cost planning.
A.2 Summary Results from Report
on ‘LNG Imports Business Case
Assessment for Libya-
Under a World Bank supported
consultancy assignment on ‘LNG
Imports Business Case Assessment for
Libya (2019)- the consultants have
assessed the need for LNG imports in
Libya over the next ten years. The
study examined the need for LNG
import in four regions of electricity
demand and supply in Libya to address
any shortfall in supply of domestic natural gas. It found a strong business rationale for implementing a
2nd Generation FSRU in Al Khoms area, and 1st Generation FSRUs in Tripoli West and Tobruk areas by
2022. If Tripoli West can be connected, a 1st Generation FSRU at Al Khoms (along with the 1st Generation
FSRU at Tripoli West) would suffice. These (1st Generation FSRUs) will be quicker and cheaper to deploy.
In case the anticipated increase in domestic gas production in the eastern region does not materialize,
then a 1st Generation FSRU would be needed in Brega by 2025. A pipeline connection between Tobruk
and Derna is needed by 2027 to supply regasified LNG to Derna from Tobruk.
