Libya’s Mabrouk oilfield restarts, ups production

Libya

TRIPOLI, March 2, 2026 – Mabrouk oilfield has increased production to 25,000 bopd following the commissioning of a new early production unit, Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced on Sunday.

Located about 170 kilometres south of Sirt, Mabrouk is a tight oilfield operated by Mabrouk Oil Operations on behalf of the NOC and TotalEnergies under a development and production sharing agreement lasting until 2028. The field is characterised by complex formations and is being developed through horizontal and multilateral drilling.

The commissioning of the new production infrastructure is part of Mabrouk Oil Operations’ efforts to increase its total production at Mabrouk and the offshore Al Jurf oilfield, which it also operates, to around 40,000 bopd by the end of March 2026. Al Jurf is located about 100 kilometres offshore near the border with Tunisia, and is being developed with a fixed production platform linked to an FPSO.

The National Oil Corporation is Libya’s state-owned energy company. It oversees upstream, midstream and downstream hydrocarbons activities across the country, manages partnerships with IOCs and leads efforts to restore production capacity and grow domestic oil and gas output following years of disruption.
