Libya designing ‘attractive’ oil and gas bid round for fourth quarter
Libya is designing an oil and gas bidding round, expected to be held in the fourth quarter of this year, that is “very attractive” for investors, a member of the National Oil Corporation’s board said. An oil blockade that year imposed by eastern Libyan military leader Khalifa Haftar cost Tripoli $6 billion in lost oil revenues. Protests by loosely affiliated local groups have also threatened to bring the country’s oil production to a standstill. Over the past few days, some groups have also threatened to shut down two oil and gas facilities near the Libyan capital Tripoli. In a separate session, Libyan Economy Minister Mohamed Al Hwej said LIA's assets frozen by sanctions overseas could be used to invest in the country’s oil sector.

Leaders of Italy and Malta skip Libya Energy and Economic Summit
The Libya Energy and Economic Summit opened in Tripoli yesterday with the participation of several international trade and energy stakeholders, but with the absence of high profile guests that were initially set to be there, namely the top leaders of Italy and Malta. They were scheduled to participate in the launch ceremony of the summit yesterday, and both were set to deliver opening speeches alongside Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, as shown by the summit’s program agenda. However, neither of the European leaders attended or even delivered speeches online. No statement from the governments of Libya, Italy and Malta was issued to explain the reasons. While the absence of top European leaders was a snub to the Libyan government-sponsored event, Dbeibeh, nevertheless, managed to secure the participation of representatives of key European energy stakeholders including Eni, TotalEneregies, Repsol as well as Malta’s Energy Minister Miriam Dalli.

Experts Libya Unlikely To Witness Political Normalcy In 2024
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Report by Khaled JabbarTUNIS, Jan 14 (KUNA) -- Libya's political spectrum has remained stagnant amid the nation's splinter into warring entities embroiled in very complex political disputes. Mustafa Abdulkabir, an expert in Libyan affairs, has ruled out in an interview KUNA prospects of national conciliation in 2024, as "all the indications are negative with respect to holding comprehensive elections." Members and blocs of Aguila Saleh's parliament are at odds over the vision for establishing a unified authority. Moreover, the squabbles often shift to the streets with recurring gunfights among the divergent groups, aggravating the jitters and maintaining economic paralysis in the oil-rich nation. He added that 2024 would be a hard year for the Libyans with no glimmers of hope to resolve the mounting political, economic, and social problems, afflicting the nation since the ouster of Colonel Moammar Al-Gdahafi's regime in 2011.
