Libya’s Sharara Oilfield Increases Production to 85,000 BPD to Supply Zawia Refinery.

Production at Libya’s Sharara oilfield has increased to approximately 85,000 barrels per day (bpd), according to sources at the field. The move is intended to supply crude oil to the Zawia oil refinery. This development comes after the National Oil Corporation (NOC) of Libya declared force majeure on oil exports from the Sharara field on August 7, following a blockade by protesters that disrupted production at the 300,000-bpd capacity field.

Engineers working at Sharara confirmed the production boost, although it remains uncertain whether an agreement has been reached to raise production to full capacity and resume exports. Such a step would enable the NOC to lift the force majeure currently in place.

Sharara, situated in southwestern Libya, is operated by a joint venture involving Libya’s NOC, Spain’s Repsol, France’s TotalEnergies, Austria’s OMV, and Norway’s Equinor. The field has frequently been the target of local protests, leading to periodic disruptions in production.

An NOC spokesperson was not immediately available for comment regarding the current situation or future production plans. The oilfield’s output is crucial to Libya’s oil industry, and any increase in production could significantly impact the country’s overall oil exports.
