Libya’s Al-Mabruk oil field has recorded a significant increase in daily output following the successful commissioning of a new early production unit, according to the National Oil Corporation (NOC).
The field, operated by Mabruk Oil Operations Company, saw production rise to between 25,000 and 30,000 barrels per day on Saturday. The increase comes as part of efforts to accelerate the restoration of the field’s operational capacity after years of disruption.
In a statement, the NOC confirmed that technical teams have begun implementing a broader plan aimed at raising combined output from the offshore Al-Jurf field and the onshore Mabrouk field. The company expects total production to reach approximately 40,000 barrels per day by the end of March, under a programme designed to enhance efficiency and strengthen output levels.
Officials described the launch of the new unit as a key step in supporting infrastructure development within Libya’s oil sector. The increase in production is part of wider efforts to bolster the national economy and gradually raise crude output in line with current strategic targets.
Masoud Suleman, Chairman of the NOC, praised the board and workforce of Mabruk Oil Operations Company for completing the technical works on schedule and achieving tangible production gains. He highlighted the role of national expertise in delivering the project and maintaining momentum in the sector’s recovery.
In a related development, the NOC announced last Wednesday that Sirte Oil Company is continuing final completion stages at the exploratory well (B1-LP3D) in the Al-Khair field, ahead of bringing it into production. The company recently completed a successful fishing operation to retrieve drilling pipes, in coordination with its drilling and well maintenance department and a local specialised service firm.
The NOC reiterated its commitment to sustaining growth across Libya’s energy sector through targeted investments and operational improvements.
