With the largest proved oil reserves on the continent of Africa, Libya offers a significant resource base and exploration and production potential. For the first time in nearly two decades Libya has launched a new bid round in 2025, offering for lease a total of 22 blocks including 11 onshore blocks with a total area of 128,714 square kilometers, and 11 offshore blocks with a total area of 106,553 square kilometers. Libya is also offering a new fiscal regime, including Production Sharing Agreements.

EGI has published a brief geologic article entitledLibya’s New Oil” in the August 2025 issue of the AAPG Explorer.
