Libya’s new Ubari gas-fired power station will take some of the country’s export crude off the market. The power station will initially run on crude, taking up to 50,000 bpd of Sharara oil off the export schedule.
The plant, if it starts on time, will initially consume 30,000 bpd of crude oil before ramping up to around 50,000 bpd.
Libya will consider running the plant on feedstock other than crude in the future, as the country faces a severe shortage of electricity especially during peak winter demand.
