Libya’s state National Oil Corporation (NOC) stated Thursday that the 2015 terror attack on its Mabrouk oilfield led to equipment losses of $575 million.
Nevertheless, the NOC confirmed its intention to restart operations there in 2023.
The news came on the back of the meeting last Thursday between NOC chairman, Mustafa Sanalla and Mabrouk Oil Operations chairman of the Operator Management Committee, Abdul Basit Al-Rifai, and the general manager of the project to restore the Mabrouk field Misbah Abu al-Khair – at the NOC’s Tripoli headquarters.
Company officials reviewed the difficulties they faced, and the latest results reached in the project to develop and rehabilitate the Mabrouk field, and that the field will return to production in the first quarter of 2023 at rates of up to 25,000 barrels per day, after a hiatus of more than 7 years.
