Following the lifting of UN sanctions and restoration of diplomatic relations with the west, Libya has reopened its market to foreign investments, especially in the oil & gas sector, which is still the main driver of the Libyan economy.

Currently producing 1.7 million barrels a day and aiming to increase it to 3 million barrels a day by the end of 2013, Libya is a major producer of high quality oil and has the largest proven reserves in Africa. The top agenda of the Libyan government is to reform its economy and the oil & gas sector has been one of its top priorities: Libya is simply on the verge of oil & gas boom, with many foreign oil & gas companies working in various areas.

All of this has generated unprecedented interest from international oil & gas companies and made Libya an important and strategic market candidate.

For this reason Sahra Oil Consultancy (SOC) has been established.

SOC is an independent oil & gas consultancy firm based in London and Tripoli, committed to providing excellent, in-depth, up-to-date consulting services to international oil & gas companies wishing to work or set up business in Libya.
