Libya’s parastatal National Oil Corporation (NOC) has exported its first shipment of Erawin crude oil. Produced from the Erawin onshore field, the crude oil had been exported through oil and gas exploration company, Zallaf Libya Oil and Gas. Announced on 16 November, the inaugural shipment was estimated at 600,000 barrels and was exported through the Port of Zawiya in northwestern Libya. Production at the Erawin field commenced in March 2023 with an initial production rate of 3,000 barrels per day (bpd), which has since increased to a rate of 6,000 bpd as of November. Oil production from the field is expected to reach more than 16,000 bpd pending completion of all wells and pipelines linking the Erawin field to the Sharara field export route in Libya’s Murzuq Desert.
Libya’s oil minister has accused international oil companies operating in the country of taking advantage of the political instability in the country to delay their development plans. Earlier this year, Libya’s National Oil Corporation issued a statement saying that oil majors including BP and Italy’s Eni had lifted the force majeure declared on their Libyan operations, effectively returning to the country. At the time, the National Oil Corporation said the international companies had notified it of their intentions to resume their contractual obligations with the Libyan state oil company. The tender will be held in 2024 and should help Libya move closer to its target of 2 million bpd in daily oil output by 2026. Libya is currently producing some 1.24 million bpd, according to the National Oil Corporation.

After spending £4.3 million to join Manchester United from Fenerbahce in the summer, Bayindir remains impatient to make his senior team debut. Marcus Rashford also picked up a knock during the November international break but the forward should be fit for the Everton clash.

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - The United Nations' envoy to Libya on Thursday asked the country's main powerbrokers to designate representatives for a meeting aimed at reaching an election settlement, part of an apparent new push for a national vote. The last big push to hold an election, in December 2021, collapsed at the last minute because of disputes over the rules. One major obstacle now is disagreement among Libya's factions over whether a new government must be installed to oversee the process. The United States, Britain, Germany, Italy and France issued a joint statement backing the move as an opportunity to "set Libya on the path to long-term stability".

Libya's oil and gas minister has accused some international oil companies operating in the OPEC member of taking advantage of lax security in the country's restive oil regions caught in fighting bouts since 2011, slacking off in implementing their development plans and seeking better contractual terms. IOCs are also exploiting Libya's need for petrodollar revenue and foreign expertise to develop its resources to exact better contractual terms from NOC, he added. Licensing roundDespite issues with IOCs, Oun said Libya is moving ahead with plans to boost its oil production capacity to 2 million b/d in three-to-five years, with the help of existing IOCs and the development of existing fields and discoveries. Libya is also keen to boost its gas production, which hovers around 2.6 bcf/d, by tapping its 56 TCF reserves to add an extra 2 bcf/d. Libya, through the Mellitah Oil & Gas joint venture between Eni and NOC, exports between 300-400 MMcf/d to Italy via the Greenstream pipeline.
