Libya resumes crude flow through Sharara-Zawiya pipeline
Libya’s National Oil Corporation has reopened valve 7 on the Sharara-Zawiya pipeline, restoring crude flows after a multi-day shutdown.
Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) has relaunched crude oil flow through the Sharara-Zawiya pipeline, following a multiple-day shutdown, according to a recent statement. The pipeline, which conveys oil from the Sharara field to the Zawiya refinery and export terminals, had been halted, causing production to halt for several days.
The NOC reported that technical and operational teams swiftly initiated safety measures and engineering arrangements to ensure a secure restart and consistent pumping operations towards the Zawiya refinery and export facilities. The shutdown has led to an estimated loss of 942,376 barrels of production, valued at approximately $95 million.
Furthermore, one unit at the Zawiya refinery was forced to cease operations due to the diminished crude supplies.
