Foreword
The government’s more flexible and financially attractive interpretation of the EPSA-IV model proves a hit with international investors

The National Oil Corporation has been instrumental in maximising returns from Libya’s oil sector
Libya has the potential to increase oil production dramatically but will need some flexibility from OPEC on quotas
Overall oil revenues account for some 90 per cent of Libya’s exports, 60 per cent of government income and 30 per cent of GDP
With much of Libya’s acreage still unexplored, it is easy to underestimate the country’s enormous hydrocarbon potential
