(彭博社)“利比亚最大的油田在关闭约三周后,正在重新启动石油出口和生产。

利比亚沙拉拉油田

OPEC国家国营国家石油公司在一份声明中表示,沙拉拉油田的产量将恢复,合同中允许暂停交付的不可抗力条款将被解除,该油田此前的产量约为每日约27万桶。

副总理拉马丹·布贾纳周日早些时候告诉利比亚自由电视台,在的黎波里政府同意落实抗议者的大部分要求后,重启行动。

沙拉拉的关闭导致利比亚石油产量数月来首次降至每日 1 百万桶以下。

Sharara 项目由 NOC、西班牙 Repsol SA、法国 TotalEnergies SE、奥地利 OMV AG 和挪威 Equinor ASA 合资企业运营,因抗议者呼吁社会和经济改革而停止运营,其中包括就业机会、更好的服务和新的炼油厂。

自2011年独裁者卡扎菲倒台以来,利比亚的能源设施一直是冲突的焦点,武装派系关闭石油生产以提出政治和经济要求。去年大部分时间里,这个北非国家的产量稳定在 1.2 MMbpd 左右。

Libya restarts production, exports from country’s largest oil field

(Bloomberg) – Libya is restarting oil exports and production from its largest oil field after it had been shuttered for about three weeks.

Libya's Sharara oil field

Production at Sharara, which previously pumped about 270,000 bpd, will resume and force majeure, a clause in contracts allowing deliveries to be suspended, will be lifted, the OPEC country’s state-run National Oil Corp. said in a statement.

The restart came after the government in Tripoli agreed to implement most of the demands from protesters, Deputy Prime Minister Ramadan Boujannah told Libya’s Al-Ahrar TV earlier Sunday.

Sharara’s closure cut Libya’s oil production to below 1 MMbpd for the first time in months.

Operations at Sharara — run by a joint venture between NOC, Spain’s Repsol SA, France’s TotalEnergies SE, Austria’s OMV AG and Norway’s Equinor ASA — had been stopped by protesters calling for social and economic reforms including jobs, better services and a new refinery.

Libya’s energy facilities have been the focus of conflict since the fall of dictator Moammar Al Qaddafi in 2011, with armed factions shutting down oil output to press for political and economic demands. The North African nation managed to keep production stable at around 1.2 MMbpd for most of the last year.
