Reuters reported on Monday that production at Libya’s Sharara oilfield had risen to about 85,000 barrels per day in a move aimed at supplying Al-Zawiya oil refinery.
Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) declared force majeure on oil exports from the field on August 07 after a blockade by protesters hit production at the 300,000-bpd field.
Sharara, located in southwestern Libya and operated by a joint venture of NOC with Spain’s Repsol, France’s TotalEnergies, Austria’s OMV, and Norway’s Equinor, has been a frequent target of local protesters.
