(WO) — TotalEnergies has restarted production at the Mabruk oil field in Libya, returning the onshore asset to service more than a decade after operations were halted.
The field, located in concession C17 about 130 km (81 miles) south of Sirte, has been offline since 2015. TotalEnergies holds a 37.5% interest in the project.
Production resumed following the startup of a new 25,000-bpd production facility, which was launched in May 2024 and brought online on Feb. 28, 2026.
“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 has operated in Libya since 1956 and reported average production in the country of about 113,000 boed in 2025.
The company’s Libyan portfolio includes interests in the offshore Al Jurf field, the El Sharara onshore development, the Mabruk field, and the Waha concessions, which are operated by Waha Oil Company, a subsidiary of Libya’s National Oil Corporation.
