Sidra or Sidr (Arabic: السدرة) is a port about 23 km west of Ra's Lanuf in Libya.
It is Libya's largest oil depot, shipping about 447,000 barrels per day (71,100 m3/d),[3] and during the Cold War gave its name to the 'Gulf of Sidra', an alternative name for the Gulf of Sirte.
During the Libyan Civil War, the National Transitional Council forces captured the port of Sidra at the beginning of March 2011.
In June 2018, militiamen led by Ibrahim Jadhran seized the port from the Libyan National Army.
[5] In July 2020, the National Oil Corporation reported that Wagner Group, Janjaweed and Syrian mercenaries were present at the port.
