Mabruk Oil Operations, a joint-venture operating company, restarted production at Mabruk oil field in concession C17, about 130 km south of Sirte onshore Libya, partner TotalEnergies said in a release Mar 12.

Production from the field stopped in 2015 following unrest in the country and an attack at the field’s entrance in central Libya.

Construction of a new 25,000 b/d production unit was launched in May 2024. Start-up occurred on Feb. 28, 2026.

The Mabruk Oil Operations JV is comprised of Libya’s National Oil Company, TotalEnergies, and Equinor.
