Tripoli, 20 September 2015:
After more than a five-month disruption, a crude oil cargo could be ready for export . . .[restrict]from Zueitina port and is awaiting permission from the authorities, according to an official at Harouge Oil.
“There are one million barrels of oil ready to pump from three oilfields: AGOCO’s Nafoora field, Wintershall’s field and Harouge’s Amal field,” the official was quoted by Akhbar Libya saying.
The source added that after nearly a half-year interruption pumping operations from the trio would begin shortly in line with demand at the oil terminal. The stoppage began when a group of job seekers staged a sit-in.
Before the latest closure, Zueitina had resumed exporting oil in February after another year-long suspension.
Oil fields has stopped pumping to Zueitina because tanks there and at Field 103 used as a transit depot, were full.
Zueitina is under the control of troops loyal to the internationally-recognised Libyan government. [/restrict]
