Libya’s Oil Production Reaches 1.23 Million Barrels Per Day

Libya’s Oil Production Reaches 1.23 Million Barrels Per Day

Libya’s crude oil production reached 1.23 million barrels per day (bpd) in May 2025, marking its highest output in more than a decade, according to new data published by S&P Global Platts. This milestone comes despite persistent political uncertainty and periodic unrest in the country.

Compared to April, Libya added 30,000 bpd in May, reflecting a steady recovery from a series of shutdowns that plagued the sector through late 2024. The last time Libya produced at this level was nearly 12 years ago, in 2013, before years of conflict severely disrupted output.

The increase in production is attributed to resumed operations in previously dormant fields and a return of foreign oil companies to the country. One example is the Mabrouk oil field, which resumed activity in March 2025 after a ten-year suspension and is currently producing around 5,000 bpd.

This rise in production is also driving stronger export volumes. Italy remained the top buyer of Libyan crude in May, followed by France, the United States, and China. Libya’s light sweet crude remains particularly attractive to European refiners.

The recovery is a welcome development for Libya’s economy, which relies heavily on oil revenues. The National Oil Corporation (NOC) has continued its push to stabilize output and attract foreign investment, even as political divisions and security concerns continue to challenge long-term planning.

Libya, home to Africa’s largest proven oil reserves, aims to reach and sustain production above 2 million bpd in the coming years. Analysts note that while technical recovery is progressing, long-term growth will require consistent political coordination and protection of energy infrastructure.
