The production of the Sharara oil field in Libya declined following the closure of a valve in the Hamada area

The Sharara oil field line was closed after a valve stopped in the Hamada region of Libya, which led to a decline in the field’s production to about 130 thousand barrels per day.

This led to a decrease of more than 200,000 barrels per day compared to its normal production rates of about 340,000 barrels per day.

In conjunction with the stoppage of the line, most of the production was transferred to the Libyan port of Mellitah at a rate of about 107 thousand barrels per day, while measures are continuing to address the malfunction and restart the line.

The Libyan Presidential Council announced the results of preliminary investigations conducted by the competent institutions regarding the terrorist cell that recently targeted vital civilian facilities in the capital, Tripoli, and the city of Zawiya.

The official spokesman for the Brega Oil Marketing Company, Engineer Ahmed Al-Masalati, revealed in a statement to RT the impact of the delayed arrival of some fuel shipments on the regularity of supplies in various Libyan regions.

The National Oil Corporation announced that a group of Oil Facilities Guards closed the valve of the main shipping line, “Al-Hamada - Al-Zawiya,” which led to a sudden rise in pressure at the Tahara field point.
