Libya loses $75 million closing Spark pipeline
The National Oil Corporation in Libya reported that its direct losses due to the closure of the oil pipeline from the Sharara field to Zawiya have exceeded $75 million as of September 24, with over 720,000 barrels of production lost since the closure began last Monday. It explained that the shutdown resulted from an armed group closing valve number 7 on the pipeline, leading to increased pressure and a decline in the field’s production. The corporation warned of further losses if the stoppage continues. It also cautioned that the crude oil stockpile at the Zawiya refinery is nearing depletion, which could force the shutdown of refining units and impact fuel supplies, amid rising pressures on refining facilities caused by protesters’ closure of the refinery and facilities belonging to Brega Marketing. The Sharara fields are among Libya’s most significant oil sources, with production reaching approximately 335,000 barrels per day in August.
