Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) will announce a bidding round for oil and gas exploration concessions before year-end, NOC's chairman said.
It would be the first bidding round by the Opec member country since the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that toppled leader Muammar Gaddafi.
NOC's production has reached 1.4 million barrels per day including condensates, Chairman Farhat Bengdara said at an industry event in Cairo.
That is its highest since 2013, the state oil firm later said in a statement.
Libya's oil output has been disrupted repeatedly in the chaotic decade since the country divided in 2014 between two administrations in its east and west. -Reuters
