The National Oil Corporation (NOC) of Libya held a high-level meeting with representatives from Everllence—a German-Swiss company specialising in energy solutions and industrial gas compressors—at its headquarters in Tripoli.
The discussions focused on the potential integration of Everllence’s advanced offshore gas compression technology into upcoming NOC projects. The aim is to boost operational efficiency and enhance production reliability at Libya’s offshore platforms.
Participants also explored opportunities for technical cooperation and knowledge exchange as part of the NOC’s broader efforts to modernise its infrastructure and drive sustainable transformation. These efforts align with the corporation’s strategy to establish strategic partnerships with global technology leaders in the energy sector.
The meeting was attended by project and maintenance supervisors from the NOC’s Department of Maintenance Engineering and Minor Projects, the acting Director of Major Projects, experts from both the NOC and Everllence, and representatives from Mabruk Oil Operations and Mellitah Oil & Gas.
This collaboration signals a growing focus by the Libyan energy sector on innovation and international cooperation to strengthen long-term gas production capacity and operational stability.
