Two other large NOC subsidiaries are the Zueitina Oil Company (ZOC), which operates the five Intisar fields in Block 103 of the Sirte Basin, and the Sirte Oil Company (SOC), originally created in 1981 to take over Exxon's holdings in Libya. In 1986, SOC took over the assets of Grace Petroleum, one of the five US companies forced by the US government to leave Libya in 1996. SOC operates the Raguba field in the central part of the Sirte Basin. The field is connected by pipeline to the main line between the Nasser field, one of the largest in Libya, and Marsa el-Brega. Besides Nasser, SOC is in charge of two other gas fields – Attahadi and Assumud – plus the Marsa el-Brega liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant.
