The Royal Dutch/Shell Group has selected a site for a new LNG facility near Ras Lanuf. The capacity of the plant will depend on the quantity of gas in its five blocks in the Sirte basin. Shell has completed seismic work and will begin drilling exploration wells later this year. One rig, supplied by the UK's KCA Deutag, will be the highest specification rig in Libya, at 3,000 hp/15,000 psi.
