It's in a goggle book, so I can't c&p, but the point is that because of the earlier sanctions G & regime located most of the larger storage facilities in areas it could control -near airports and bases. Most notable for those in the west are Al Zawia, Janzur, Al Hanee, Sebha, Tripoli Airport, and Sidee Gaber.

Since there has been almost no recent domestic production, this storage (and other smaller, local storage) has been the source of most of the fuel used in the west. What I don't know yet is the storage capacity of those facilities.

In the past 5-10 years or so, they have made an effort to convert electrical plants to NG, but quite a few of them still run on oil -which they can no longer refine or import.
