TotalEnergies restarts production at Libya's Mabruk oilfield

TotalEnergies has restarted production at the Mabruk oilfield onshore Libya, located in concession C17, around 130 km south of Sirte

Production from the field stopped in 2015.

The construction of a new production unit with a capacity of 25,000 barrels per day was launched in May 2024. Start-up of the new facility occurred on 28 February 2026, less than two years after the project was launched.

“This restart illustrates our long-term commitment in Libya, as we celebrate TotalEnergies’ 70th anniversary in the country this year,” said Julien Pouget, Middle East and North Africa director for TotalEnergies’ Exploration & Production business. “This project, which follows TotalEnergies’ recent announcements regarding the extension of the Waha concessions, brings low-cost, low-emissions oil production in line with the company’s strategy, and contributes to our objective of 3% annual production growth per year until 2030.”

TotalEnergies holds an interest of 37.5% at Mabruk.

The restart follows TotalEnergies’ signing of an agreement extending the Libya onshore Waha Concessions, of which it holds 20.42%, up to 2050, paving the way for further investments and strengthening TotalEnergies’ presence in the country.

This agreement sets new fiscal terms allowing to increase the production of these concessions, currently producing around 370,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d). It clears the way for a new phase of investments, including the development of the North Gialo field, which is expected to unlock an additional 100,000 boe/d of production.

The Waha concessions are held by NOC (59.16%), TotalEnergies (20.42%) and ConocoPhillips (20.42%) and are operated by Waha Oil Company (WOC), a company 100% owned by NOC.

TotalEnergies has a longstanding presence in Libya, with production averaging 113,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2025, from the offshore Al Jurf field (TotalEnergies 37.5%), the onshore areas of El Sharara (TotalEnergies 15% in former Block NC 115 and 12% in former Block NC 186), Mabruk, and the Waha concessions.
