The 'Energy Mix' in Libya

Prior to the 2011 revolution, the energy market in Libya had been small relative to the size of its petroleum exports, with domestic oil consumption in 2010 estimated at about 270,000 bpd. In 2010, the NOC said that Libya's energy consumption was rising at the average rate of 7 percent per year. Oil met approximately 72 percent of Libya's energy demand in 2009, with natural gas filling the remaining 28 percent.
