Libya regained full control of the Ras Lanuf refinery after ending a long-running partnership dispute with UAE-based Trasta, according to the National Oil Corporation and Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah. Officials said the refinery could resume operations within six to 12 months following maintenance work estimated at $60 million. The 220,000-barrel-per-day facility, Libya’s largest refinery, remained idle since 2013 amid legal disputes and political instability affecting the country’s energy sector.
