El Sharara Oil Field The Biggest Oil Field

Characterization of Libyan Waxy Crude Oils

  • What is the biggest oil field in Libya?
  • The El Sharara field is the biggest oil field in Libya. Image courtesy of Javier Blas. The El Sharara oil field located in the Murzuq Desert in southwest Libya is the biggest oil field of the North African country Libya, which is believed to hold the largest proven oil reserves in Africa.
  • Will Libya double its oil production in 5 years?
  • Libya is home to Africa’s largest oil reserves and wants to double its crude oil production over the next three to five years. To that end, foreign majors have returned. Italy’s Eni, BP of the UK and Algeria’s Sonatrach resumed operations in Libya after a 10-year absence.
  • What type of oil does Libya produce?
  • Libya produces mostly high-quality light, sweet (low sulfur) crude oil grades, which can be processed into petroleum products in simple refineries and are valuable to import markets.
  • What happened to Libya's crude oil production?
  • After Libya’s crude oil production (excluding condensates) reached around 1.7 million barrels per day (b/d), between 2006 and 2010, the 2011 civil war and ensuing political dissention over the following decade caused a steep production decline and several major disruptions to production and exports.
