== Pipelines ==

Tunisia has an extensive pipeline network including 3,059&nbsp;km of gas pipelines, 1,203 kilometres of oil pipeline and 345&nbsp;km of refined products. Petrochemicals are Tunisia's third most important export despite the small size of its oil and gas fields as compared to Libya and Algeria. It also gets a royalty rate of 5 per cent on the Algerian gas that runs through Tunis to [[Sicily]] through the [[Trans-Mediterranean Pipeline|Trans-Mediterranean gas pipeline]]. (IPR Strategic Business Information Database, 18 Dec 2003) Libya's [[National Oil Corporation]] formed a joint venture with [[Societe Tunisienne de l'Electricite et du Gaz]] to construct a [[national gas]] pipeline between the two countries.
