Obitsy added during a seminar on the energy sector in Libya Organized in Rome by Energy Capital & Power: “We have never stopped looking at Libya as a vital region for the production of Oil And gas.
She added: “Our estimates indicate that there are resources that still need to be discovered, and we are also planning offshore exploration in the near future.”
Oil exports at Libya’s main ports were halted last month and production has been cut across the country amid a standoff between rival political factions over control of Central Bank of Libya And oil revenues.
Production began to recover in the first half of September but the dispute over the central bank has not yet been resolved.
