During the 2026 annual technical meeting for TotalEnergies’ Libya branch held this Monday, the National Oil Corporation’s (NOC) Exploration Department discussed exploration activities and contractual obligations for onshore Block 17 (Mabrouk field, Sirte Basin) and the remaining evaluation work for offshore Block 137 (Al-Jurf field, western Libya).
The meeting addressed the results of hydrocarbon prospect evaluations, activities already carried out, and work plans for 2027. The NOC underscored the necessity of accelerating the fulfilment of remaining exploration commitments, which include conducting a 600-square-kilometer 3D seismic survey and drilling an exploration well onshore, as well as evaluating two discoveries in the offshore area.
The meeting was attended by the heads of the exploration departments from both the NOC and TotalEnergies, the company’s deputy general managers, various specialists from both sides, and representatives from Harbour Energy, Equinor, and the Petroleum Research Centre.
