The Tripoli-based Libyan Ministry of Oil and Gas has refuted reports that U.S. oil services company, Halliburton, has evacuated its employees from Libya’s oilfields
The Oil Ministry said it reassures the Libyan oil sector that what was published regarding the departure of the Halliburton ‘‘is a distortion of reality and has no basis’’.
It stated that Halliburton is still continuing its normal work with the Libyan oil sector, and that it is a large and experienced company that manages its operations professionally.
The Oil Ministry’s rebuttal comes after social and traditional media news alleged that Halliburton was evacuating its staff, implying that fighting was about to take place between Libya’s opposing militias.
