Pumping Resumes at Libya's Largest Oil Field Following Armed Group Blockade

Operations have resumed at Al-Sharara, on the pipeline linking the field to the refinery and the coastal terminal of Zawiya, the Libyan National Oil Company announced.

"This allows a gradual return of production indicators and operations to normal levels," the state-owned company said in a statement.

This infrastructure had been blocked for several days by an armed group starting September 21.

The incident had heavily weighed on the field's capacity, causing production to drop to only 130,000 barrels per day (against a maximum capacity of 340,000 barrels).
