The Mellitah joint venture with Eni completed a coordinated turnaround of gas and condensate facilities early in 2025 with limited impact on domestic power supply or Greenstream exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zawiya refinery, with a nameplate capacity of <strong>120,000 barrels per day<\/strong>, operated at about <strong>85 percent utilisation<\/strong> equal to roughly <strong>102,000 barrels per day<\/strong> in 2025 year to date. The facility had previously experienced fire related disruptions in 2024. Ras Lanuf refinery, with a nameplate capacity of <strong>220,000 barrels per day<\/strong>, continued to operate near <strong>15 percent utilisation<\/strong> or about <strong>33,000 barrels per day<\/strong> due to rehabilitation requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Safety Indicators and Technical Capacity<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Waha Oil Company reported an improvement in the Total Recordable Incident Rate from <strong>0.35<\/strong> to <strong>0.30<\/strong> per <strong>200,000 work hours<\/strong> in the third quarter of 2025. NOC announced a Process Safety Management roadmap for major refineries and processing facilities. Late 2024 incidents including the Zawiya refinery fire influenced safety priorities in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>National Workforce Development<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NOC and associated companies documented maintenance and project efforts at Brega and Zawiya that supported fuel distribution and facility stability during 2024 and 2025. The Brega storage tank farm rehabilitation was completed in the second quarter of 2025 restoring significant national storage capability. These actions contributed to wider efforts to strengthen operational readiness across the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International Partnerships and Project Activity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TotalEnergies and NOC confirmed a final investment decision for a gas project within the Waha portfolio designed to improve gas capture and reduce flaring. Eni provided updates on the Structures A and E development noting its expected role in supporting domestic power generation and maintaining export continuity through Greenstream.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Digitalisation and Structured Operational Reporting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Terminal reporting shows Es Sider averaged about <strong>400,000 barrels per day<\/strong> of crude loadings and Zueitina averaged about <strong>100,000 barrels per day<\/strong> in 2025. Consolidated export and production reporting shows higher and steadier flows in 2025 compared with 2024. Refinery utilisation data and coordinated incident reporting demonstrate the increasing use of structured operational information across the sector.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sector Challenges and Risk Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Short pauses at El Feel confirmed the ongoing sensitivity of some fields to access related issues. Zawiya refinery\u2019s high utilisation leaves limited room for further operational disruptions. Ras Lanuf throughput remained low due to pending rehabilitation of major process units. Multilateral reporting notes combined capital and operational expenditure requirements of about <strong>12 billion United States dollars<\/strong> for the period <strong>2025 to 2027<\/strong> to support pipelines, surface systems and refinery rehabilitation. Technical reporting also highlights power supply challenges requiring on site generation at some remote fields. OPEC documentation confirms that Libya remains exempt from production cuts and that 2025 output is above the <strong>1.1 million barrels per day<\/strong> reference cited in some discussions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reporting for 2025 indicates higher and more stable crude production, stronger export flows, improved safety performance and progress in upstream and storage related projects. Several challenges remain including refinery constraints, access sensitivities, infrastructure rehabilitation needs and substantial funding requirements. The 2025 profile reflects documented operational progress alongside structural issues that continue to influence Libya\u2019s oil and gas sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full Libya\u2019s Oil &amp; Gas report 2025 on Objectives Projects and Operations Report is available for reading and download here:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/petrogaslibya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ART-IND-2102-ENGLISH-LIBYAS-GAS-OIL-IN-2025-ARTICLE-REPORT-.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"\u062a\u0636\u0645\u064a\u0646 _ART-IND-2102-ENGLISH - LIBYA&apos;S GAS &amp; OIL IN 2025 ARTICLE- REPORT.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-182f0069-3460-43a0-9281-e8db67639f52\" href=\"https:\/\/petrogaslibya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ART-IND-2102-ENGLISH-LIBYAS-GAS-OIL-IN-2025-ARTICLE-REPORT-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">_ART-IND-2102-ENGLISH &#8211; LIBYA&#8217;S GAS &#038; OIL IN 2025 ARTICLE- REPORT<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/petrogaslibya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ART-IND-2102-ENGLISH-LIBYAS-GAS-OIL-IN-2025-ARTICLE-REPORT-.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-182f0069-3460-43a0-9281-e8db67639f52\">Download<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Insight Into Production, Projects and Performance Based on Verified NOC and Industry Reporting Introduction Average crude and condensate production for 2025 year to date is reported at 1.215 million barrels per day compared with 1.105 million barrels per day in 2024.
