Turkish construction company ‘Dorce’ has announced plans to expand its operations in Libya following the resumption of oil and gas tenders for the first time in nearly 17 years, reflecting renewed momentum in the country’s energy sector.
A senior official in charge of international tenders said the company is preparing to support upcoming energy projects by providing modular buildings and fully integrated mobile camps tailored for remote oil and gas fields. He noted that Dorce’s previous experience in the Kufra region will serve as a practical model for future developments, particularly in desert areas with limited infrastructure.
The company specializes in prefabricated and modular facilities designed to operate independently in harsh environments. Its desert camps are built to withstand extreme temperature variations, sandstorms, and strong winds.
Reinforced steel structures and advanced insulation systems are used to ensure durability and minimize maintenance needs. The units can also be dismantled and relocated when necessary, offering flexibility for energy operators working across multiple sites.
Each camp is equipped with integrated systems for water supply, electricity generation, and wastewater treatment, enabling full self-sufficiency without reliance on urban networks. These features are considered essential for oil and gas operations in isolated areas.
The expansion comes after the National Oil Corporation completed a new licensing round, the first in almost two decades. Meanwhile, Turkish Petroleum Corporation secured exploration rights in several onshore and offshore blocks. Major international firms such as Repsol and Eni are also preparing to expand operations in the Sirte and Murzuq basins, increasing demand for logistical infrastructure and staff accommodation.
