Ras Lanuf (/ˌrɑːs ləˈnuːf/ (Arabic: راس لانوف Raʾs Lānūf,[1] also: Ra’s al-Unūf [2])) is a Mediterranean town in northern Libya, on the Gulf of Sidra in Tripolitania. The town is also home to the Ra's Lanuf Refinery, completed in 1984, with a crude oil refining capacity of 220,000 bbl/d (35,000 m3/d). The oil refinery is operated by the Ra's Lanuf Oil & Gas Processing Company, a subsidiary of the state-owned National Oil Corporation. Additionally, the city houses the Ra's Lanuf petrochemical complex – a major oil terminal – and oil pipelines: the Amal–Ra's Lanuf, the Messla–Ra's Lanuf,[3] and the Defa-Ra's Lanuf pipeline.[4]
