TRADE MISSION TO LIBYA
09 - 14 October 2010 |
Libya has vast natural oil and gas reserves and has recently opened up two new fields in the SIRTE basin, the NC-98 concession which has a gas condensate reservoir and the North Gailo site. The country's gas reserves in January 2009 were estimated at 54.4 trillion cubic feet. Libya is the second largest producer of oil in Africa with 1.7 million barrels of oil a day, making them the largest single supplier of oil to the United Kingdom. The potential for further growth through exploration is enormous as much of the country has not yet been explored including the offshore Mediterranean, Ghadames and the Eastern side of the country. The opportunities for companies in the oil and gas industry and those who supply that indsutry are enormous and by taking in this Trade Mission you will have a golden opportunity of making the right contacts, show your commitment to the Libyan market which is vital if you wish to do business in this country. During the visit there will be a briefing at the British Embassy which will give you an opportunity to learn more about this important market.
