TRIPOLI, Mar 1 – Libya has restarted production increases at the Al-Mabruk oil field, with initial pumping rates expected to range between 25,000 and 30,000 barrels per day, according to the country’s state oil firm.
In a statement released Sunday, the National Oil Corporation confirmed that output resumed on Saturday following the successful commissioning of a new early production unit. The upgrade is expected to support higher and more stable production levels in the coming weeks.
Operations at the field are managed by Mabruk Oil Operations, which operates on behalf of NOC and TotalEnergies through its exploration and production arm.
The NOC said technical teams are also working to increase combined production from the Al-Jurf oil field and Al-Mabruk oil field to approximately 40,000 barrels per day by the end of March.
Al-Jurf is an offshore field located about 100 kilometres off Libya’s coast near the Tunisian border and roughly 150 kilometres from the capital, Tripoli. Al-Mabruk, by contrast, is an onshore field situated around 170 kilometres south of Sirt.
The production increase forms part of Libya’s broader push to stabilise and expand oil output after years of disruption linked to political instability and infrastructure challenges.
