The Libyan National Oil Corporation has signed an agreement with Qatar-based UCC Holding for oil exploration and production sharing in the Gadamis Basin, field 47. This agreement is expected to contribute to the increase in Libya's oil production and its more active role in energy markets. Libya is one of the countries with the largest oil reserves in Africa. The agreement between the Libyan National Oil Corporation and UCC Holding is planned as a partnership that will last for 5 years for oil exploration and production activities. The potential effects of the agreement on energy markets, oil prices, and global energy trade are considered important. This cooperation between Libya and Qatar may strengthen regional energy cooperation and contribute to the increase in oil production in the Middle East. Additionally, this agreement may be important for lower oil prices and energy supply security.
