| | Libya Country Analysis Brief (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Libya is hoping to reduce its dependency on oil as the country's sole source of income, and to increase investment in agriculture, tourism, fisheries, mining, and natural gas. |
 | | Libya is considered a highly attractive oil province due to its low cost of oil recovery (as low as $1 per barrel at some fields), the high quality of its oil, its proximity to European markets, and its well-developed infrastructure. |
 | | Libya has five domestic refineries, with a combined nameplate capacity of approximately 380,000 bbl/d, significantly higher than the volume of domestic oil consumption (227,000 bbl/d; the rest is exported). |
