Yesterday, the NOC announced that the oil shut down had lost Libya 3,366,687,237 USD worth of revenues since January 17, 2020. Current levels of production are at 91,221 barrels a day , as of Tuesday March 17, 2020.
The NOC said that it continues to work hard to serve all Libyans in every part of the country with fuels.
Despite hardships and an illegal shut-down of many oil production and distribution facilities, NOC is still able to source and distribute enough fuels for all Libyans. This includes the Eastern region, where NOC has been sending tens of thousands of tonnes of fuels every week.
NOC has spent millions of US dollars since the start of the blockade to purchase and transport fuels into Eastern Libya.
“We call on those responsible for the illegal closures to immediately lift the imposed blockade and spare oil sector workers and citizens from more suffering. We call on the rest of the state’s bodies to maintain the remaining financial reserves and reduce their expenses as well.” NOC stated.
