Libya aims to push oil production above 1.5 million barrels per day by mid-2027. Can it get there? Investment, ageing infrastructure and security risks will determine whether Libya can turn its target into sustained growth. libyaeconomicreview.com/liby…

The real measure of development is not how much a country spends, but what its economy gains from it. Can Libya turn oil revenue into productive investment, stronger businesses and jobs beyond the energy sector?
Libya spends around $10 billion a year on development. But how much of that spending builds a stronger private sector and reduces dependence on oil? Attracting investment is only part of the challenge. Turning spending into lasting economic growth is the real test. Read our analysis: libyaeconomicreview.com/liby…

Libya has restarted the Brega oil refinery after more than nine years offline. The facility, operated by Sirte Oil Company, has a processing capacity of around 10,000 barrels per day. Its return marks a small but important step in restoring the country's ageing energy infrastructure.

Why does it matter? Libya produces large volumes of crude oil but still relies on imported refined fuels. Restoring domestic refining capacity could help support local supplies, although Brega alone cannot solve the country's wider fuel import problem.

The real test is whether the refinery can maintain stable operations after years of technical problems and delays. Libya needs more than restarts. It needs reliable infrastructure, sustained investment and the ability to keep its energy facilities running.

After more than nine years offline, Libya’s Brega oil refinery is back in operation. The 10,000-barrel-per-day facility could help support domestic fuel supplies. But can Libya keep its ageing energy infrastructure running? Read more: libyaeconomicreview.com/liby…

Libya has opened the Al-Rashad gas field south of Brega, with production capacity of up to 50 million cubic feet per day, according to the National Oil Corporation. The new field is expected to supply more gas to Libya’s coastal network, supporting electricity generation and heavy industry. The key question is how quickly this additional capacity can translate into actual production and more reliable domestic gas supplies. #Libya #Energy #NaturalGas #OilAndGas
