The Chairman and members of the Board of Libya’s South Refinery Company met with a high-level delegation from the American company KBR (Kellogg Brown and Root) last Tuesday (27 January), Libya’s Zallaf Oil and Gas Company reported.
Zallaf said the meeting comes as part of the final preparations for signing the contract for technical support and project management services for the refinery project.
The two parties agreed at the meeting that the technical support and project management services contract is scheduled to be signed in early February.
KBR registering local branch
During the meeting, the American delegation confirmed that the procedures for registering the local branch are still being finalized and are expected to be completed and the necessary permits obtained within the next week.
KBR stated that this collaboration will enable it, as a global leader in engineering consulting and major project management, to manage the South Refinery project and provide technical support and consulting services to ensure the project’s completion according to the highest engineering and professional standards. This will enhance operational efficiency and stimulate investment in the Libyan oil sector.
The company emphasized, Zallaf added, that this contract will represent a significant step towards developing Libya’s industrial and oil infrastructure and will support the country’s efforts to promote economic stability through strategic projects backed by global technology and expertise.
It will be recalled that KBR signed an MoU with the Libyan Telecommunications Holding Company (LPTIC) last Friday (23 January) to improve Libya’s telecoms sector. KBR was one of dozens of international companies attending the Libya Energy and Economy Summit (LEES 2026) held in Tripoli from 24 to 26 January.
