Ras Lanuf

Ras Lanuf, a city on Libya's northern coast, is a vital center for the country's oil industry.  The Ra's Lanuf Refinery, operational since 1984, boasts a capacity of 220,000 barrels of crude oil refined daily.  This refinery, along with the city's petrochemical complex and oil terminal, is under the management of the Ra's Lanuf Oil & Gas Processing Company, a subsidiary of the Libyan National Oil Corporation.  Several oil pipelines, including Amal-Ra's Lanuf, Messla-Ra's Lanuf, and Defa-Ra's Lanuf, also run through the city. While information on specific attractions for tourists is limited, Ras Lanuf's coastal setting offers scenic views and the chance to experience Libya's unique environment.
