Global energy majors SLB, NESR and Delta United Group have thrown their weight behind Libya’s push to revive its oil and gas sector, signing on as Gold Sponsors of the Libya Energy & Economic Summit (LEES) 2026 in Tripoli later this month.
Their participation signals rising private-sector confidence in Libya’s efforts to expand production, modernize infrastructure and re-establish itself as a competitive destination for global energy investment. Scheduled for January 24–26, LEES 2026 will bring together policymakers, national oil company officials, operators and investors to align strategy and unlock actionable projects across the energy value chain.
SLB, one of the world’s leading energy technology and oilfield services companies, arrives with decades of experience in drilling, reservoir engineering and digital oilfield solutions. Its advanced capabilities in real-time monitoring, well optimization and enhanced recovery are closely aligned with Libya’s ambitions to boost output while improving efficiency and operational reliability. The company’s presence at the summit also follows recently signed agreements with Libya’s National Oil Corporation focused on community development initiatives.
NESR, a global integrated energy services provider with strong roots across the Middle East and North Africa, brings end-to-end upstream, midstream and downstream expertise. The company has been expanding its footprint in North Africa, securing production services contracts in Libya and Algeria valued at more than $100 million in 2025. Its engagement at LEES 2026 highlights a commitment to production optimization, brownfield redevelopment and the advancement of large-scale upstream projects critical to Libya’s output growth.
Delta United Group, meanwhile, contributes deep experience in energy infrastructure, logistics and complex field operations. With operations spanning roughly 90% of Libya’s oil market, the company is positioned as a key partner for operators seeking to accelerate production and strengthen supply chains. Its sponsorship reflects confidence in Libya’s recovery trajectory and the role of technical execution in delivering sustainable growth.
Organizers say LEES 2026 is designed to move beyond dialogue, providing a platform where strategy translates into execution through partnerships, investment commitments and project development. The backing of SLB, NESR and Delta United Group underscores a shared view that Libya’s energy resurgence will depend not only on its vast resource base, but on technology, expertise and durable industry collaboration.
As Libya works to stabilize output and modernize aging infrastructure, the summit is expected to serve as a focal point for renewed engagement between the country and the global energy industry, positioning Tripoli once again at the center of North Africa’s energy conversation.
