The oil and natural gas industry is a significant economic contributor in Libya. The country developed a strong oil sector after major oil discoveries in the late 1950s. In recent years, despite the fluctuating oil production due to the wars and COVID-19, Libya’s economy has remained heavily reliant on the oil industry, which is the main source of income in the country. In 2020, oil revenue accounted for over 50 percent of the Libyan GDP, the largest share in Africa. Although to a lesser extent, Libya’s economy also profits from the gas sector, as the country is the fourth natural gas producer on the African continent. In addition, oil and gas resources largely contribute to Libya's export trade. Mineral fuels, including oil and natural gas, were the leading products exported in 2021, representing over 95 percent of the exports.
