TotalEnergies has officially restarted extraction operations at the Mabruk field, marking its historic presence in Libya. After remaining inactive since 2015, this asset, located in concession C17 about 130 km from Sirte, is once again part of the global supply network.
The restart of operational capacity at the Mabruk field
The deployment of a new production unit with a capacity to process 25,000 barrels per day has been the centerpiece of this phase. Formally launched in May 2024, the project has achieved startup in less than 24 months.
Furthermore, the execution aims to align with the low-emission standards that the organization seeks to implement in all its onshore developments. The French firm’s 37.5% stake in this field adds to a diversified portfolio that includes assets such as Al Jurf and El Sharara.
Julien Pouget, Senior Vice President of Exploration and Production for the Middle East and North Africa, noted that this action coincides with the company’s seven-decade history in the country. The current strategy aims for a 3% annual increase in production through the end of the decade.
Thus, collaboration with the National Oil Corporation and other international partners ensures the operational stability necessary for regional energy security. The reactivation of Mabruk is seen as a key element in achieving the projected extraction volumes following the recent extensions of the Waha concessions.
