Historical Timeline
An Overview of the Oil & Gas industry in Libya12 ©2008 Deloitte & Touche LLP. All rights reserved.
The Oil & Gas Industry: Historical Brief
• In 1973 Libya nationalized its oil industry
• In 1981 the US began a trade embargo with Libya and by 1986 all US companies were forced to leave
• In 1992 the United Nations imposed sanctions on Libya in response to the 1988 bombing of a Pan American flight over Scotland
• Additional sanctions applied by the US Sanctions Act of 1996 were relaxed in 1999 and the standstill agreements due to end in 1989 and then 2001 went under negotiation in 2002 to allow re-entry
Phase 2: 1973 to 2002
• Libya first minerals laws were passed in 1953 and 1955
• Under these laws multiple concessions were granted to Esso, Mobil, Texas Gulf and others, resulting in major oil discoveries by 1959
• By 1969 production from the Sirte Basin exceeded production from Saudi Arabia (3 million barrels of oil per day)
Phase 1: 1950’s to 1972
An Overview of the Oil & Gas industry in Libya13 ©2008 Deloitte & Touche LLP. All rights reserved.
The Oil & Gas Industry: Historical Brief
• In 2003 the UN lifted its sanctions, followed by the US in 2004
• US companies commenced re-entry into Libya and companies who kept a presence during the sanctions stepped up activity
• In 2005 Occidental reached a deal with NOC to resume operations,followed by the Oasis Group who also reached a deal in late 2005
• Since the sanctions there have been 4 bid rounds, the first held in 2005
• A number of bilateral deals have been signed outside of the bid rounds, and in 2007 NOC re-negotiated contracts with existing companies to bring them in line with the EPSA IV model
• NOC currently plans to increase oil production to 2 million bpd by 2008, and to 3 million bpd by 2010-2013 by attracting investment of around USD 30 billion
• It is also a priority for NOC to expand natural gas production for domestic power generation and to increase exports, with a target of 7 BCM by 2013

Major companies show that they are willing to commit for the long term by negotiating 25-30 years contract extensions with large
commitments and signature bonuses
Conclusions
Some of the challenges…• Exploration is 20 years behind
the rest of the world• Tough fiscal terms• Bureaucratic difficulties• Importing equipment can be
problematic• Shortage of skills, partly due to
high local content required
… and some of the advantages:• Largest proven oil reserves and 5th
largest gas reserves in Africa • Highly under-explored, particularly
offshore • High oil quality and low cost of oil
recovery ($1 per barrel in some fields)
• Open to investment• Relatively good security • Close proximity to Europe

2nd country in the world (after Algeria) to become an exporter of LNG. In 1971, in cooperation with ExxonMobil, completed a liquefaction plant at Marsa el-Brega (original capacity 3.2 MMTp.a.)
0.4-0.7 MMTp.a. of LNG, operated by Sirte Oil & Gas Co.
Potential increase to 3.2 MMTp.a. in a project with Shell

Department of Antiquities
Responsible for archaeological heritage issues and the register of sites under the World Heritage Convention 1972. The Department of Antiquities sits within the General Peoples Congress All development projects that cause disturbance of the ground in areas of archaeological importance must obtain a permit from the Department of Antiquities before work can commence.Department of Antiquities is responsible for all museums and archaeological sites in the country Annex to Antiquities Law (Article 6): Permission for any construction or development project (for housing, industrial or agricultural projects) which involves disturbance of the ground in archaeological areas may not be given until an archaeological investigation (e.g. survey) has been carried out by or for the appropriate authority (i.e. The Department of Antiquities) on all the affected areas.Giuma Anag
Libya
National Oil Company (Environmental Protection Department)
The NOC is the principal authority for dealing with upstream oil and gas environmental issues in Libya. It acts as the main interface with sectoral agencies and ministries and handles the processing of most approvals or permits. The NOC is formally responsible for Libyan energy policy. Following its reorganisation in 1979, it is now a holding company and carries out its activities through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates. The NOC’s Environmental Protection Department has published guidance on EIA in regards to both onshore and offshore seismic operationsen.noclibya.com.lyMahmoud Kamoor
