KLN Logistics Group Limited has reported significant progress on the Wellhead Platform A (WHPA) project in Libya’s offshore Bahr Essalam field. The project, one of the largest offshore Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) developments in the Mediterranean Sea, marks a major step in strengthening Libya’s energy infrastructure.

Undertaken through KLN’s industrial project division, the contract exceeds HK$10 billion in value and involves the full EPCI scope for Mellitah Oil & Gas Company. The fabrication of key components, including the topside, jacket, and living quarters, reached its “first-cut” milestone in mid-2025, signalling the transition from design to major construction for the 20,000-ton offshore gas platform.

KLN’s team continues to oversee engineering, procurement, and logistics operations, ensuring quality and adherence to schedule toward the planned 2027 completion. Marco Oriolo, CEO of Global Industrial Projects at KLN Project, said the company remains proud of the project’s momentum and focused on safe, efficient delivery.

The WHPA development will enhance Libya’s offshore gas production capacity and support regional energy supply routes to Europe. It also demonstrates KLN’s growing capability in managing large-scale, integrated offshore and energy projects across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
