Libya to Resume Oil Exports From Brega as Protests Ease
This article is for subscribers only.
Libya said it will resume oil exports from Brega, one of four ports where it declared force majeure this week, as protests that shut the facilities since end-July eased.
Brega may add some 90,000 barrels a day to Libya’s exports that are running at 500,000 barrels a day, shipped through the Zawiya terminal, in Western Libya, and the offshore loading platforms of Mellitah, Al Jurf and Bouri. The other terminals, where force majeure was declared on Aug. 18, Es Sider, the nation’s largest, Ras Lanuf and Zueitina, remain shut. The oil port of Hariga hasn’t resumed even though state-run National Oil Corp. didn’t include it in the list of halts.
