Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) said it has hit a new production high, pumping 1,386,030 barrels of crude oil and condensate daily, along with 203,017 barrels of gas equivalent (boe).

Last month, Libya’s National Oil Company said its crude oil production had recovered to 1.3 million barrels a day following the resolution of the political dispute over the appointment of a new governor to the Libyan central bank. This came only after crude production at most Libyan oilfields had been suspended for over a month starting in late August.
