Oil giant BP is to confirm its return to Libya’s oil and gas fields for the first time in more than 30 years.
A spokesman for Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is on a five-day visit to Africa, spoke of BP’s return at a briefing today.
BP has not operated in Libya since 1974, when the oil industry was nationalised.
The group confirmed today it had been in talks with the Libyan government over re-entering the country.
Two years ago rival Royal Dutch Shell announced its return to the country.
British companies have been keen to exploit business opportunities in Libya since sanctions were formally lifted in 2003, with the country attractive in particular to oil companies.
Libya produces high quality ‘sweet’ crude oil at low costs and has plentiful reserves of both gas and oil.
The country’s first oil fields were discovered in the late 1950s and Libya became a major producer in the 1970s before nationalisation and introduction of US Nations and US sanctions.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
