BP returns to Libya after 30 years
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 British 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.
