The front-end engineering and design (feed) for Libya’s planned Mellitah complex expansion project has been completed, according to industry sources.

The client on the project is Mellitah Oil & Gas Company (MOG), a joint venture (JV) of Italy’s Eni and Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC).

In November last year, MEED reported that MOG had started the prequalification process for engineering, procurement, installation and construction (EPIC) contracts for the project to develop gas facilities.

It invited companies with ‘extensive experience in offshore projects’ to submit prequalification documents.

The project scope includes offshore structures and the expansion of an onshore gas processing facility.

The whole project has an estimated value of $3bn and is expected to be broken down into four major packages.
