Libya’s National Oil Corp (NOC) said on Sunday that a key oil field providing crude volumes to Mediterranean tankers is back at work after a two-week shutdown. The force majeure declared on 7 January for the Al Sharara field has now been lifted and the facility is resuming “full production”, NOC said in a statement on its website. Sharara, which supplies crude oil to the Zawiya port near Tripoli, shut down due to protests by local citizens pushing authorities to improve public services.
