Background

In 2002 Egypt and Libya officials renewed their agreement to have a 620 km crude oil pipeline built from Tobruk in Libya to Alexandria, Egypt, with a capacity of 150,000 b/d. The agreement was signed in July 1997 by then Egyptian Oil Minister Hamdi Al Banbi and Libyan Energy Secretary Abdullah Salem Al Badri. It was agreed that about 125 km would be in Libyan territory and 495 km in Egypt.
