Mabruk Oil Operations Company announced the end of the trial period for the successful restart of the Mabruk oil field.
Mabruk Oil Operations is a joint venture between Libya’s state National Oil Operations (NOC) with 50% ownership, France’s TotalEnergies with 37.5 %, and Norway’s Equinor with 12.5 %.
The restart of operations comes after the completion of comprehensive maintenance and development works and equipping the field with the latest technical equipment using national cadres.
The cumulative production of the field during the pilot phase recorded about 2.5 million barrels at a daily average of 30,000 barrels, and its actual production capacity is targeted to reach 40,000 barrels per day.
This represents an important milestone for the National Oil Corporation in recovering damaged assets and supporting the national economy, after being subjected to severe damage and a complete halt since the field was destroyed my military extremists in 2015.
The NOC said this achievement is not only reflected in the resumption of production but also reflects NOC's success in implementing its plans to rehabilitate damaged oil assets and restore its operational capacity, thus contributing to supporting the national economy and enhancing the stability and sustainability of the sector.
