Libyan armed group halts oil pipeline
A masked armed group has closed the crude oil pipeline in Libya, leading to the suspension of shipments from the Sharara oil field, which has an estimated production capacity of around 300,000 barrels per day. The shutdown of valve number 7 on the pipeline connecting the Sharara field to the Zawiya port has caused increased pressure and reduced production, as technical teams are unable to access the affected area. Officials warn that continued closure could halt export operations and harm the national economy, especially amid rising global oil prices, in addition to the potential shutdown of the Zawiya refinery and an increase in fuel imports. These events follow a series of previous closures and disturbances in Libya's oil sector over the past months, reflecting ongoing insecurity and political instability in the region.
