Notes
News articles from January-March 2026 indicate Libya's NOC is unveiling plans to nearly double refining capacity to 660,000 BPD and KBR has won a project management contract for refinery expansion work. These articles suggest active reconstruction/expansion projects rather than a facility in damaged/non-operational state. The database 'damaged' status appears outdated given the recent development activity.
