Libyan oil exports resumed from Brega, one of four ports where force majeure was declared last week, as protests that have shut the facilities since the end of July eased, according to officials in Tripoli.
The tanker Vallesina departed two days ago for Italy with 630,000 barrels of Brega-grade crude, Ibrahim Al Awami, the oil ministry’s director of measurement, said in a telephone interview. Deputy Oil Minister Omar Shakmak confirmed by phone that it’s the first export from Brega since the Aug. 22 lifting of the force majeure.
