In its statement, the National Oil Corporation announced that it had received an official notification from the Italian company Eni and British Petroleum regarding the lifting of force majeure and the resumption of exploration activities and contractual obligations in the blocks granted to them in Ghadames Basin (A-B) and offshore block C.

The Oil Corporation confirmed that it had received an official notification from the Algerian Sonatrach company to raise force majeure, resume exploration activities and complete contractual obligations in the blocks granted to it (065 and 96/95) in the Ghadames basin, in response to the invitation of the NOC last December to international companies operating in the fields of oil and gas, with which oil and gas exploration, sharing and production agreements were signed in Libya, to lift the declared force majeure on its part.

In this regard, the Board of Directors of the Corporation renews its call to the rest of the companies that have not begun to lift the state of force majeure in their regions of the need to resume their activities and contractual obligations, stressing that the Corporation will not be negligent in preserving the national interests of the Libyan state to achieve its vision of restoring Libya to its leading and effective role in the field of energy.
