CAIRO (Reuters) – Italian energy company Eni and British oil giant BP have resumed exploration in Libya after onshore drilling was halted in 2014, Libya’s national oil corporation (NOC) said on Saturday.

NOC also said in a statement that Eni had started drilling in an area of Ghadames basin on Saturday.
