In April, the Corporation announced that Mellitah Oil & Gas successfully reopened the gas well on its Sabratha platform in the Mediterranean Sea after technical difficulties.
The National Oil Corporation was founded in Libya in 1970. One of its main functions is the development, exploration, investment, and research operations in the country's oil sector.
Libya's Minister of Oil and Gas in the Government of National Unity, Mohammed Aoun, predicted in an interview with "CNN Business" in January that international companies would return to participate in oil and gas exploration and extraction. He announced that a number of fields would gradually return to production.
