Libya’s 70,000-barrels-per-day Abu Attifel oilfield is expected to begin its restart on Oct. 24 after being shut down for months, two engineers there said.
Sub-stations at the field were expected to start operating again from Monday, the engineers said, allowing pumping to resume.
The Mellitah Oil and Gas Company added in a statement that as soon as the status of Force majeure was lifted, it has taken all necessary technical testing to ensure a successful and timely restart to pumping in order to receive crude oil in the Al-Nasr field, to then be pumped to Zuwitina port.
