The National Oil Corporation confirmed that crude extraction reached 1.44 million barrels on Sunday, supplemented by 49,163 barrels of condensate. This collective output brings the state-run entity within a hair’s breadth of its stated objective to hit 1.5 million barrels of daily crude production. The rebound reflects a broader trend of international oil companies re-engaging with the country’s infrastructure as local operations stabilize.

During a meeting in Tripoli, board chairman Masoud Suleman attributed the success to the technical staff working through volatile conditions. While the current figures represent a significant victory for the Libyan economy, Suleman emphasized that the momentum must hold. The corporation has set a deadline for late 2026 to firmly establish these higher production rates, aiming to anchor the country's long-term economic revival.
