Eni said it has successfully started production from its Sabratha Compression project with Libya’s National Oil Corporation. The offshore development is designed to increase gas output and offset the natural decline of the Bahr Essalam field.
The project is expected to add about 800 million cubic metres of gas per year, along with associated condensates. It also includes a new 1,600-ton compression module fitted with new compression trains on the offshore Sabratha platform.
The upgraded facilities have a total capacity of around 440 million standard cubic feet per day. The gas will support Libya’s domestic electricity generation and exports to Italy through the GreenStream pipeline.
The launch adds another layer to Libya’s efforts to protect output from its mature offshore assets. It also shows how the country is still relying on major foreign partners to sustain production and maintain export flows.
For Libya, the project matters beyond gas volumes. Better supply can support power generation at home while also preserving a key export route into Europe, where energy security remains a major concern.
The move fits a broader pattern across Africa, where producers are trying to extend the life of existing fields through compression, infrastructure upgrades and other efficiency gains rather than relying only on new discoveries.
