Production from the field was stopped in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The construction of a new production unit with a capacity of 25,000 barrels per day was launched in May 2024. Start-up of this new facility occurred on February 28, 2026, less than two years after the project was launched.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This restart illustrates our long-term commitment in Libya, as we celebrate TotalEnergies\u2019 70th anniversary in the country this year,&#8217;\u00a0said\u00a0Julien Pouget, Middle East and North Africa Director for TotalEnergies\u2019 Exploration &amp; Production business. &#8216;This project, which follows TotalEnergies\u2019 recent announcements regarding the extension of the Waha concessions, brings low-cost, low-emissions oil production in line with the Company\u2019s strategy, and contributes to our objective of 3% annual production growth per year until 2030.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>TotalEnergies in Libya<\/p>\n<p>TotalEnergies has been present in Libya since 1956.
