Benghazi – TotalEnergies has announced the resumption of oil production from Libya’s Mabrouk oil field. Production had been halted since 2015. The company holds a 37.5 percent stake in the field.
The onshore field is part of Concession C17. It is located approximately 130 kilometers south of Sirte. TotalEnergies began constructing a new production unit in May 2024. This unit has a capacity of up to 25,000 barrels per day. It entered service on February 28, 2026. This was less than two years after the project began.
Julien Pouget is TotalEnergies’ Senior Vice President for Exploration & Production in the Middle East & North Africa. He stated in a company release that the field’s restart reflects TotalEnergies’ continued commitment to investing in Libya. This coincides with the company’s 70th anniversary of operations in the country.
He noted that this project follows the company’s announcement of extending its Waha concessions. The project will support oil production with lower operating costs. It will also have reduced emissions. This aligns with TotalEnergies’ strategy. The strategy aims for a 3 percent annual production growth until 2030.
