Libya’s state-run National Oil Corp.’s (NOC) chairman, Mustafa Sanalla, held a meeting with Moehammad Amar Ma’ruf, Indonesian Chargé d’Affaires to Libya, on September 29. The two officials discussed potential areas for collaboration and the development of Libya’s oil sector.

Ma’ruf expressed his country’s desire to enhance bilateral relations with Libya, offering Indonesia’s cooperation in upskilling Libyan oil and gas workers via industry-leading training programs, including naval technology and maritime transport, NOC said.

A statement added that the suggestion was welcomed by Sanalla and both parties agreed to explore the opportunity further via the General Department of Human Resources Development.

The chairman also provided an overview of NOC’s offshore projects in Libya, citing the recent completion of Bahr Essalam Phase 2, the country’s largest offshore producing gas field.

The parties also discussed the potential return of Indonesian companies such as PERTAMINA.
