Libya has restarted the Brega oil refinery after more than nine years offline.
The facility, operated by Sirte Oil Company, has a processing capacity of around 10,000 barrels per day. Its return marks a small but important step in restoring the country's ageing energy infrastructure.
Why does it matter?
Libya produces large volumes of crude oil but still relies on imported refined fuels. Restoring domestic refining capacity could help support local supplies, although Brega alone cannot solve the country's wider fuel import problem.
After more than nine years offline, Libya’s Brega oil refinery is back in operation.
The 10,000-barrel-per-day facility could help support domestic fuel supplies. But can Libya keep its ageing energy infrastructure running?

Libya has abundant sunshine, but can solar power help solve its electricity shortages?
New solar projects could ease pressure on the national grid, reduce reliance on fuel and support more reliable power. But investment, infrastructure and implementation will determine how much solar can deliver.

Libya wants to raise oil production from around 1.4 million barrels per day to 2 million by 2031.
Can it get there? New field developments, inactive well restarts and foreign investment could drive growth, but funding and security remain key challenges.

Libya opens Al-Rashad gas field with production capacity of up to 50 million cubic feet per day - NOC chairman #oott
Libya has opened the Al-Rashad gas field south of Brega, with production capacity of up to 50 million cubic feet per day, according to the National Oil Corporation.
The new field is expected to supply more gas to Libya’s coastal network, supporting electricity generation and heavy industry.
The key question is how quickly this additional capacity can translate into actual production and more reliable domestic gas supplies. #Libya #Energy #NaturalGas #OilAndGas
Libya’s oil production remains vulnerable to disruptions at a single pipeline valve.
The Hamada–Zawiya pipeline has reopened, but the incident highlights a bigger challenge: protecting oil infrastructure is essential to sustaining production and state revenue.
An oil pipeline from Libya's Hamada and Tahara oilfields to Zawiya was reopened on Saturday, according to the head of the state-owned oil firm National Oil Corporation.
A pipeline valve was closed by individuals who entered the crude oil receiving station near the Zawiya refinery on Thursday, leading to a reduction in production at both fields. #oott marketscreener.com/news/liby…

Oil infrastructure remains vulnerable to disruption, putting production and state revenue at risk.
Libya’s Central Bank leadership dispute is becoming a test of institutional accountability.
The House of Representatives (HoR) says the governor’s resignation is expected to come before the House for consideration at its next session. The CBL board is also due to meet early next week, with Naji Essa attending.
The bigger issue is whether Libya’s institutions can enforce accountability without political or foreign influence.
No central bank governor should be beyond scrutiny. But oversight must also follow the law, respect institutional independence and avoid turning the CBL into another arena for political power struggles.
The message to Washington and other foreign partners should be clear: relationships with individual Libyan officials must not come at the expense of Libya’s institutions.
For investors and the wider economy, credible monetary institutions need clear rules, accountable leadership and protection from political interference.
Libya’s financial stability depends on institutions, not individuals.

ADNOC’s investment arm is in talks to buy a stake in Eni’s Libya oil and gas business.
With Eni producing around 162,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in Libya in 2025, what could this mean for foreign investment and future energy production?
