Libya Suspends Production at Three Oil Sites After Pipeline Shutdown
The National Oil Corporation said operations were halted after guards closed a valve on the main Hamada-Zawiya export pipeline.
Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced the suspension of production operations at three oil sites following the closure of a major export pipeline, the corporation said in a statement reported by Anadolu Agency.
According to the NOC, the suspension came after members of the Petroleum Facilities Guards shut a valve on the main Hamada-Zawiya export pipeline, disrupting the flow of crude to export terminals.
The corporation did not immediately specify the reasons behind the Petroleum Facilities Guards' action or provide further details on the extent of the resulting production losses.
Libya's oil sector has repeatedly faced disruptions in recent years due to actions by armed groups and guard forces at production and export facilities, often linked to political or security disputes within the country.
Further details on the duration of the suspension or steps being taken to resolve the situation were not immediately available.
