Libya is working on increasing its oil production to 2 billion barrels per day both for domestic production and exports outside the country, Mohamed Aoun, the oil minister of Libya’s government of national unity, told Sputnik. “We are increasing the production up to 2 billion barrels of crude oil (per day),” Aoun said. The minister added that the oil refining capacity in Libya remained relatively small. The official added that extending gas production would take from three to five years, according to the plan. It is possible that there will be enough surplus for domestic consumption, and the rest can be exported,” Aoun told Sputnik.
