Key Takeaways
AIMasoud Suleiman, chairman of Libya’s National Oil Corporation, has confirmed the resumption of production at the El Feel and Wafa oil fields.
Suleiman told Bloomberg that work is ongoing to restart operations at the Mellitah gas complex.
Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah had earlier ordered forces from the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff to secure the complex, reopen gas pipelines supplying power stations, and resume pumping.
The move followed protests that led to the storming and closure of the facility, disrupting production and gas supplies at one of Libya’s main coastal energy hubs. The unrest also affected the oil sector, with the National Oil Corporation announcing a complete halt in production at El Feel and a partial reduction in operations at Wafa.
