Es Sider terminal

Es Sider is Libya's largest terminal, located 35 kilometress west of Ras Lanuf.

=Capacity=

Es Sider was exporting approximately 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the Waha oil fields before civil conflict began in 2011, according to the US-based Energy Information Administration (EIA). The UK's Financial Times wrote in March 2011 that the terminal was capable of exporting 447,000 bpd.

The terminal came under direct attack in 2011 during battles between Gaddhafi-loyalist and opposition forces, and according to the EIA there was damage to its storage tanks, metering equipment, and a feeder pipeline. The terminal has been operational again since the beginning of 2012 thanks to temporary fixes, but the EIA wrote in mid-2012 that repairs are still needed for it to perform at full capacity on a sustained basis.

In November 2012, some 150 workers of Waha Oil Company at Es Sider went on strike over a range of pay and contract demands.

=Ownership=

The Waha Oil Company, an joint venture (JV) between the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC), ConocoPhillips, Hess and Marathon, operates the Es Sider terminal and oil output.
