TotalEnergies Resumes Oil Production at Libya’s Mabruk Field with New 25,000 bpd Facility
TotalEnergies has restarted oil production at the Mabruk Oil Field in Libya, where the company holds a 37.5% stake, marking a significant step in reviving operations that were halted during the country’s civil conflict.
The Mabruk field is located onshore within concession C17, about 130 kilometers south of Sirte. Production at the site was suspended in 2015 following the escalation of Libya’s civil war.
TotalEnergies began construction of a new early production unit with a capacity of 25,000 barrels per day in May 2024. The facility entered operation on February 28, 2026, less than two years after construction started.
Julien Pouget, Middle East and North Africa Director for TotalEnergies’ Exploration and Production division, said the restart reflects the company’s long-term commitment to Libya, where it is marking 70 years of operations.
Pouget added that the project follows the recent extension of the Waha concessions and supports low-cost, lower-emissions oil production, while contributing to the company’s target of 3% annual production growth through 2030.
Earlier, National Oil Corporation (NOC) confirmed that the Mabruk field resumed production on February 28 after technical teams successfully commissioned the new production unit. Initial output is reported to be between 25,000 and 30,000 barrels per day.
The NOC also said engineers have begun work to increase combined production from the Al-Jurf Oil Field and the Mabruk field to around 40,000 barrels per day by the end of March.
According to the corporation, the development supports its broader strategy to strengthen Libya’s oil sector infrastructure and boost the national economy.
