New gas field developments will align with Libya's move to boost gas production and exports, Khalifa Rajab Abdulsadek, responsible for exploration, development and planning on the NOC board, said on the sidelines of an energy summit in Ravenna, Italy. “It’s good to hear that Libya has such big, ambitious targets” as “Europe and Italy are starving for gas,” said Davide Tabarelli, president of Nomisma Energia. Eni is Libya’s largest foreign gas producer and co-owner with NOC of the 520km Greenstream pipeline – the longest subsea pipeline in the Mediterranean Sea – which connects Libyan gas fields with the Italian gas market. “We're working hard with Eni and other European strategic partners to fill up pipelines and maximising gas exports,” said Abdulsadek. Greenstream, Libya's only gas pipeline, has been running below capacity over the past few years.
