Overview
To unlock our potential, the Libyan National Oil Corporation collaborates with global energy leaders. As the sole state entity overseeing oil and gas activities, we manage joint ventures and production-sharing agreements. The NOC actively guides decisions in these partnerships, with key players like Eni, Total, Repsol, and Wintershall Dea. Together, we emphasize knowledge exchange, training, and societal growth.
Several IOCs are active in Libya as investors and service providers to concessions. As strategic partners of the NOC, they help operate certain oilfields and facilities, explore for oil and gas and have shareholdings in concessions. These partners include Eni, Total, Repsol and Wintershall Dea.
