Taknia Libya Engineering Company supports National Oil Corporation in developing Libya’s oil and gas infrastructure through integrated engineering services, workforce localization, and a strategic focus on midstream expansion.
Taknia Libya Engineering Company (TLEC), the engineering arm of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), plays a central role in supporting Libya’s oil and gas sector through a full spectrum of engineering, technical, and project management services. Established in 2009 and fully owned by NOC, Taknia integrates decades of technical knowledge inherited from Teknica UK, delivering engineering excellence across the upstream, midstream, and downstream value chain.
Taknia has successfully completed more than 90 projects, delivering specialized engineering, project management, industrial inspection, and technical support services that play a critical role in maintaining, expanding, and modernizing Libya’s energy infrastructure. Several of these projects were executed through joint ventures with international companies, while others were fully implemented by Taknia itself.
Q1: What are Taknia’s current engineering and EPC projects supporting Libya’s oil and gas infrastructure?
A1: Although Taknia does not publicly list active EPC projects by name, official NOC updates and Taknia publications confirm that the company is currently supporting Libya’s oil and gas infrastructure through:
- Integrated engineering services (FEED and detailed design) for field facilities, pipelines, and processing units.
- Project management and construction supervision across NOC subsidiaries.
- Supporting NOC programs aimed at increasing production and improving implementation efficiency.
- Engineering and technical consultancy for upstream rehabilitation, gas development, and midstream expansion initiatives.
- in addition to ongoing engineering and support work, Taknia is also positioned to participate in several EPC packages currently under tendering at the national level, especially within NOC’s 2025–2026 development agenda. While the individual bid names are not publicly disclosed.
Q2: How does Taknia localise engineering capabilities and workforce development within Libya?
A2: Taknia localises engineering capabilities and develops the Libyan workforce through:
- Implementing NOC’s mandate for localisation and knowledge transfer.
- Building and expanding a national engineering workforce.
- Integrating international experts to transfer expertise to Libyan staff.
- Delivering industry‑recognized technical training and certification programs.
- Providing practical field experience across Libya’s oil and gas operations.
With these measures, Taknia continues to serve as a strategic engineering arm of the NOC, supporting Libya’s long‑term goal of developing a self‑sufficient, highly skilled national workforce in the energy sector.
Q3: Which upstream or midstream segments does Taknia see as priority growth areas in the Libyan market?
A3: Taknia continues to support upstream and midstream engineering services across Libya; however, from a strategic growth perspective, the company prioritizes its focus as follows:
1st Priority: Midstream Infrastructure
Pipelines, gas transmission networks, export terminals, and processing systems.
2nd Priority: Downstream Development
Refinery modernization, petrochemical facilities, and storage & distribution infrastructure.
3rd Priority: Upstream Activities
Field development engineering, and production optimization.
