Libyan Minister of Oil in the Government of National Unity, Mohamed Aoun, said the country is losing $60 million per day from the closure of oil fields and ports, Anadolu reported. He told the officials that Libya is missing out on exporting 500,000 barrels a day as a result of the closures. On Monday, Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) declared force majeure on oil exports from the El-Sharara oil field – the largest oil field in the country – and the Zuwetina oil port in central Libya. He also instructed the Public Prosecution to "open an immediate investigation into the closures that took place in oil ports and fields and all those involved in them."
