Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) has resumed crude exports in the Esidra and Ras Lanuf after a 24 hour shutdown starting on Thursday.
While it delayed shipping, NOC Libya noted that “production from all fields was not reduced.” With production resumed, NOC Chairman Mustafa Sanalla said that “we will never be satisfied with the politicisation of the NOC and its use as a bargaining chip,” a sentiment he has frequently expressed when the Libyan oil industry is disrupted by unrest.
He also called on the state to provide “special care and attention” to NOC and the areas adjacent to its operations to ensure safety and the continuity of oil production.
