Libya Reaches 13-Year Oil Production Peak of 1.49 Million Barrels Daily

With crude and condensate output surging to 1.49 million barrels per day, Libya has reclaimed a vital stake in the global energy market. This milestone, the highest level recorded since 2013, places the nation firmly back among Africa’s top producers, signaling a recovery from years of persistent political instability.

Libya Reaches 13-Year Oil Production Peak of 1.49 Million Barrels Daily

The National Oil Corporation confirmed that crude extraction reached 1.44 million barrels on Sunday, supplemented by 49,163 barrels of condensate. This collective output brings the state-run entity within a hair’s breadth of its stated objective to hit 1.5 million barrels of daily crude production. The rebound reflects a broader trend of international oil companies re-engaging with the country’s infrastructure as local operations stabilize.

During a meeting in Tripoli, board chairman Masoud Suleman attributed the success to the technical staff working through volatile conditions. While the current figures represent a significant victory for the Libyan economy, Suleman emphasized that the momentum must hold. The corporation has set a deadline for late 2026 to firmly establish these higher production rates, aiming to anchor the country's long-term economic revival.
