Abstract

The article focuses on Libya's efforts to attract global energy firms through its fossil fuel potential and recent investor-friendly reforms, despite ongoing political risks. The country is offering 22 blocks in a new licensing round, with an estimated 10 billion barrels of resources available and 18 billion barrels yet to be discovered, according to Enverus Intelligence Research. Enhanced fiscal terms and clearer profit-sharing arrangements are drawing interest from major energy companies, although political instability and infrastructure issues pose challenges to achieving production targets. Libya, a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, is working to regain the presence of oil majors that exited after the 2011 fall of Moammar Qaddafi.
