The Libyan National Petroleum Corporation (NOC) has resumed operation of the valve on the oil pipeline from the al-Sharara field to the port of al-Zawiya. The pumping of crude oil has been restored, and the volume of supplies is gradually returning to its previous level, the press service of the company said.
According to the NOC, on September 22, employees of the Petroleum Facilities Guard blocked the valve on the pipeline. They demanded payment of salary arrears.
According to Reuters, during the five days of shutdown, the company lost about $ 95 million. During that time, NOC could produce about 924,000 barrels of oil. The Ash Sharara oil field is the largest in Libya. It has been suspended several times in recent years due to strikes and technical disruptions.
